Other Information

Courses must comply with the following approved standards; - Engineering Technician Standard ST1395 (Level 3) ST0289 Nuclear Scientist and Engineer (Level 6) Performing Engineering Operations (PEO) must also to be included within the syllabus content, as per recent changes to the course standards This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to advise industry of the intent for the Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA), as part of the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to publish a contract notice for the potential procurement of a facility enabling Apprenticeship and Graduate to allow students to enrol onto one of the following three courses as part of the Waterfront and Nuclear Degree Apprenticeship Schemes. … Release of the contract notice is intended to be published in Dec 2024, with the indicative contract award timeframe estimated to commence Feb/Mar 2025. Ideally, the authority would wish for all courses to be run from one facility. Should this not prove feasible then the alternative approach would be for the Lv3 & Lv6 courses to be run with one institution at a separate facility and the HNC at a separate facility. This may result in two separate suppliers being chosen. Note: All face-to-face aspects of the Scheme are to be delivered within the Southwest of the UK area and make provision for student accommodation easily accessible to the training facilities. This would be funded as a separate charge to the trainees on an individual basis. Based on this requirement, the bidder will be required to accommodate training within a specified radius of Bristol (to be defined). Courses must comply with the following approved standards; - Engineering Technician Standard ST1395 (Level 3) ST0289 Nuclear Scientist and Engineer (Level 6) Performing Engineering Operations (PEO) must also to be included within the syllabus content, as per recent changes to the course standards. By issuing this PIN and engaging with the market, neither SDA nor MoD are committing to carry out any procurement in relation to the information stated in this PIN. Approvals and funding are yet to be finalised. Additional Information 1. The Waterfront Apprenticeship Scheme has a planned duration of up to 3 years, spanning 4 financial years for each intake. For all apprentices, the first year shall be spent full-time at college (with workshop type training) and in years 2 to 3 through a mixture of further academic study and work placements within SDA project teams. This will result in achievement of technical, academic and vocational qualifications alongside workplace experience providing a beneficial mix of technical knowledge, and broader Success Profile development. Scheme provision is for up to 30 apprentices per each academic year (for 3 years). 2. The Nuclear Degree Apprenticeship has a duration of up to 4 years, spanning 5 financial years for each intake. The apprentices’ first year shall be spent full-time at college (with workshop type training) and years 2 to 4 as a mixture of further academic study and work placements within SDA project teams. This will result in both technical and academic qualification (ultimately a bachelor's degree) together with workplace experience providing a beneficial mix of technical knowledge, and broader Success Profile development. Scheme provision is for up to 30 apprentices per each academic year (for 3 years). 3. The number of individuals undertaking the HNC is expected to vary each year, with a maximum number from September 2025 being 30. The HNC will be accessible to high achievers with a desire to complete the HNC during their Waterfront Apprenticeship scheme.
