What is being bought

The purpose of this PIN is to advise of the Market Engagement Presentation and it is not being used as a call for competition. This PIN is intended to: 1. Inform the market of the upcoming procurement process for the Generation 2, Wave 2 T Levels, being commissioned by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE) (and therefore enable the market / potential suppliers to begin to plan for this.) and 2. Advise as to the online market engagement update which will be available through the Procontract eprocurement portal, which is formed of a virtual presentation by IfATE and other documents about the forthcoming Generation 2, Wave 2 T Level procurement. There will also be one to one sessions offered where suppliers can meet with the procurement team. Further details about the market engagement presentation, how to book one to one slots and attend the workshops can be found in the Information Memorandum accessible at https://procontract.due-north.com/Register

Lot details

Health

IfATE will be the contracting authority, subject to commencement of the relevant provisions of the Technical and Further Education Act 2017. References to IfATE should be read with this in mind. T Levels are a programme of Technical Education that have introduced a high quality technical option alongside an academic option for students aged 16 to 19. The initial Wave 2 contracts that saw T Levels launched in 2021 are now reaching their end and IfATE are now reprocuring for the next generation contracts. The purpose of the proposed procurement will be to select and appoint an Awarding Organisation (AO) to be responsible for developing and delivering the Generation 2, Wave 2 T Level qualification, under an exclusive licensing approach. The expected scope of the role of the AO is that it would be responsible for: - reviewing and updating existing content of the qualification, both initially and during the life of the contract; - creating an assessment strategy that aligns with existing practice; - upskilling providers (further education schools and colleges); - provision of learning and teaching materials; - delivering qualification assessment services. The pathway in scope for Lot 1 of the Generation 2, Wave 2 Procurement is Health. The existing Technical Qualification Specification can be found at: https://www.ncfe.org.uk/qualification-search/qualification-detail/t-level-technical-qualification-in-health-level-3-delivered-by-ncfe-1644 Further information on the proposed procurement is provided in the Information Memorandum accessible at https://procontract.due-north.com/Register. It is envisaged that any resulting contract would be a public services concession contract and that accordingly the procurement will be governed by the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016, to the extent that the same apply to those services to which such contract would relate. Additional information: It is a mandatory requirement that the potential supplier who is selected to provide the services under this procurement must be recognised by Ofqual to deliver the relevant Technical Qualification at the point of contract award. The applicable Ofqual criteria for recognition can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/criteria-for-recognition.

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
Market: CPV division 806,6562 median · 47.9 average (3,113 of 6,656 with a bid count)3.2 average (3,415 of 6,656 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)1813 median · 3 average (2 of 181 with a bid count)1 average (2 of 181 with named award suppliers)Not published

“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.
