This would be on a subcontracting basis.

The City of London Corporation (COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LONDON) is the lead provider (UKPRN: 10008915)

The City of London has a current requirement for three Cultural and Heritage Venue Operations apprenticeships with the expectation, but not the guarantee, that further apprenticeships to this Framework and the Standards outlined will be required up to a maximum contract value of £100k. The expected duration for the Creative Venue Technician Standard is 24 months including the time required for End-point Assessment. Any apprentice starts on this contract must therefore start with the training provider no later than July 2020.

The contract is to have a duration of 3 years, subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion). The maximum length of the contract is therefore 3 years.
