What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionIn partnership with Health Education England and employers nationally, Salisbury are conducting a further competition for the Enhanced Clinical Practitioner Apprenticeship.The successful provider(s) will be able to demonstrate significant co-production of course material, and will reflect employer led needs as well as fully satisfying the requirements of the Apprenticeship Standard.
Providers should be mindful of the wide geography of the employers, and should be able to demonstrate significant innovation in education delivery (including the use of emerging technology, VR, etc), as well as being able to demonstrate how they would support both the learners, and line managers / mentors within the learner's workplace. A key feature for the successful provider will be a willingness to work with the employers to co-produce, and in some cases co-deliver the programme.
Providers are asked to specify both their current areas of programme specialism for the Enhanced Clinical Practitioner Apprenticeship and their plans for programme specialisms over the next 24 months. Providers should be mindful of the multi-professional nature of the Enhanced Clinical Practitioner Apprenticeship and bidders should demonstrate how their programme supports the multi-professional workforce to develop enhanced levels of practice.
We are inviting tenders and would welcome bids from providers who wish to work together to develop a flexible programme delivery to be carried out nationally and regionally. Please note the following entry requirements apply to this Procurement :
- Registration on the ESFA Register of Apprenticeship Training Providers, or evidence of a current application to ESFA,
- Where an Ofsted visit / full report has been issued, this must be Grade 1 or Grade 2 relating to apprenticeship delivery,
- Where an Ofsted Monitoring Visit / Report has been issued, this must show Significant Progress or Reasonable Progress across all reported areas, and cannot include any finding of Insufficient Progress or less for any delivery area,
- Organisations without an Ofsted visit / report may still apply but must provide evidence of learner success rates above the national average for apprenticeships (across all courses).
- Must provide within the Levy funding band, one resit per module and one resit at EPA for each learner
- Must not require additional entry criteria to that listed in the Standard
