Description
The Department for Education (DfE) intends to procure a Supplier to deliver the T Level Industry Placement Support Services contract. The Supplier will deliver a comprehensive support service that strengthens employer and provider capability to implement high-quality T Level industry placements. The service must achieve the specified outcomes across the five work strands set out below, while allowing flexibility for innovative approaches. Delivery should be responsive to emerging needs, lessons learned, and changes in policy or demand. The Department expects the Supplier to propose creative, evidence-based solutions that meet the objectives of the specification, ensuring value for money and sustainable impact. This planned procurement follows earlier market engagement activity, during which the DfE outlined the evolving strategic direction for T Level Industry Placement Support Services.
