Published requirement description

T Levels launched in September 2020, the programme will continue to grow over the next few years. SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) currently require additional support at this early stage to embed the programme as it grows. SMEs make up the largest proportion of the national economy and it is recognised that SMEs do not have the same infrastructure of larger employers. The DfE recognises there is a need for an extra layer of support to broker placements as part of a T Level placement.

Contractors will need to show how they intend to engage the SME market whilst they emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, to increase their ability and willingness to offer placements.

In addition to brokering the relationship between the employer and provider, the contractor and learner must ensure that both parties agree learner objectives which are to be signed by the employer and provider.

This procurement is tendering for 4 National Lots as stated within the ITTs.
