Description

This Framework replaces C1546.335 (National CPD Framework) and C1546.297 (London CPD Framework). Responses submitted for either of those Frameworks will not be carried across to this, and providers on those Frameworks must respond to this opening to continue their CPD / Education listing. The Framework is open across all our eligible public and third sector organisations. Employers may select providers by either Direct Award from the Course Listing, or by Further Competition managed via Salisbury.

Total Quantity or Scope

This Requirement … 1 - Existing providers to update their course listing (using the Excel document issued on the Bravo portal only) … 3 - Existing providers to advise of changes in their status, e.g. contact details or Ofsted rating. Please note Tan coloured columns on the Response Spreadsheet must be completed, and the Company Response tab must be fully completed. Any bid returning an incorrect or incomplete response will be rejected without the opportunity to resubmit. Supplier Eligibility In order to be approved onto the Framework, providers must : • Provide (for all programmes) at least one resit / retake per module / exam free of charge. • Where an Ofsted rating has been issued, this must be Grade 1 (Outstanding) or Grade 2 (Good). Where an Ofsted Monitoring Report has been issued, this must be either for Significant Progress or Reasonable Progress. • Organisations experiencing a reduction in their Ofsted rating / visit to a rating below the above criteria will be suspended from the Framework until their Ofsted rating meets the criteria above. • Organisations without a current Ofsted rating / visit may still apply but must meet all other quality criteria. • Providers must agree to hold maximum prices listed until at least September 2023. • Where a programme requires Professional Body approval to deliver, the Provider must either (a) have that approval in place at the time of submitting that Standard onto the framework, or (b) be reasonably expecting to gain that approval before the next scheduled opening of the Framework. Where neither of these criteria can be fulfilled, the Provider must wait until the next opening of the Framework to submit that Standard. Where employers / regions run a Further Competition for that standard, providers may respond with a roadmap to professional body accreditation acceptable to the Employers. • University providers must agree not to use UCAS points as selection criteria for any programme, and must work with employers to accept prior or experiential learning, and bridging programmes, in order to accept learners onto programme. Regional / National Delivery The Framework Response document asks for delivery locations of any face to face / physical delivery of training. Two criteria apply for selection onto the Framework : • "National" delivery may only be selected by a Provider where they either have a physical location in all of the seven regions listed, or where they will deliver training within every region (e.g. at employer location) without requiring the learner to travel to a location outside of the region in which they are employed. • If a provider requires learners to travel to any location, for any part of the Apprenticeship training, then the provider will only be listed as delivering in that location. Do not list neighbouring regions if you do not have a presence (e.g. if you are based in London, do not also select South East unless you have additional premises and deliver that programme in those premises. • This does not affect the ability of Employers to select those providers, regardless of where the Employer is based, if they are able to support their learners travelling to the Provider's location. Award Criteria - Employers Employers will be able to award to providers either via Direct Award providing all the Framework eligibility criteria are current for that Provider/Standard, or by Further Competition usually supported through the team at Salisbury via the Bravo platform.
