Description

Hampshire County Council invited applications from suitably experienced organisations to bid for a place on a Framework for the Provision of Apprenticeship Training Providers. The Framework was advertised with a period of 4 years, with the initial period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 1 year. Tenderers were required to meet the following minimum standards: - be currently listed on the Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers (RoATP) to deliver apprenticeship training; and - have a proven track record in Apprenticeship delivery; and - be assessed by OFSTED as a minimum of a grade 2 (Good) for Apprenticeships or have been graded as making 'reasonable progress' or 'significant progress' following a OFSTED Monitoring visit. For Level 6+ only, a Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education rating of 'Meets UK Expectations' or higher (Universities only) will be suitable if you have not been subject to an OFSTED visit. Note: Providers who are rated by OFSTED as grade 3 or 4 or rated as making insufficient progress following a monitoring visit will automatically be disqualified from the procurement process; and - must not have Quality Review Visits ongoing because of a Poor Annual Provider Review (Higher Educational establishments only); and - must not have ESFA financial sanctions in place or Financial Reviews ongoing; and - all apprenticeship learning and end point assessment must be funded within cap through the Levy under the Government's Apprenticeship Scheme. The Framework was lotted by Institute for Apprenticeship and Technical Education Apprenticeship route pathways and divided into 17 Lots in total to cover provision at Levels 2 to 5 and Levels 6 and above. The Framework excluded the following technical pathways: - Creative and Design; and - Engineering and Manufacturing; and - Hair and Beauty; and - Protective Services; and - Sales, Marketing and Procurement; and - Transport and Logistics.
