Providers must supply appropriately qualified trainers, adhere to HEIW documentation and quality‑assurance processes, and ensure full compliance with information governance, data protection, and social value obligations. The contract will run for an initial 12‑month period, with options to extend for up to 24 further months in 12-month increments.
This Agreement is non‑committal and does not guarantee any maximum level of spend.
