II.1.4) Short description
(Awarded, opportunity now closed)
(Framework award, monetary commitment depends on employer uptake)
In partnership with Health Education England and employers nationally, Salisbury are conducting a further competition for the requirements listed.
This Opportunity
The successful provider(s) will be able to demonstrate significant co-production of course material, and will reflect employer led needs as well as fully satisfying the requirements of the Apprenticeship Standard, including agreeing all teaching time, attendance, etc with employers rather than dictating how the Apprentice will learn.
Providers should be mindful of the wide geography of the employers, and should be able to demonstrate significant innovation in education delivery (including the use of emerging technology, VR, etc), as well as being able to demonstrate how they would support both the learners, and line managers / mentors within the learner's workplace. A key feature for the successful provider will be a willingness to work with the employers to co-produce, and in some cases co-deliver the programme.
We are inviting tenders and would welcome bids from providers who wish to work together to develop a flexible programme delivery to be carried out nationally and regionally.
