The lotProcurement structure
single lot · value publishedLot #1The provision of professional education subject matter in respect of this specialism…AwardedPublished value£2,880,000
The provision of professional education subject matter in respect of this specialism as part of the overall Graduate Management Training Scheme (GMTS) offering. We are suggesting a term of up to 6 cohorts, with cohorts spanning up to 30 months*, commencing in the September of each financial year. The first cohort that this procurement would cover would be that starting September 2024. We hope that by securing a longer term with a new provider will allow the scheme stability in provision of this specialism. This pays into efficiencies around marketing and attraction to this particular specialism of the scheme going forward, and forging lasting relationships with incumbent suppliers to the scheme.
