Partners will also require teaching facilities (classrooms), associated IT infrastructure, and a breakout room. Partners will be expected to employ teaching staff to deliver academic qualifications including: BTEC L1 Introductory Diploma in Sport Level 3 NCFE Sports and Physical Activity All programmes will be co-delivered with our faculty teams. Partners will seek to attract learners from underrepresented demographics and do community outreach work including the provision of work experience for our learners. All applicants will demonstrate robust quality assurance practices, health and safety, child protection and safeguarding policies. The successful partner will need to work with us within the limitations of the 16-19 funding lagged funding formula whereby successful delivery in 25/26 will lead to lagged funding being received by all parties in 26/27.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Education and training services (80000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
