Description

The Department for Education (DfE) is inviting you to tender to support the Awards team in line with the National Apprenticeship Awards strategy and targets. The appointed supplier/organisation will support by providing sponsorship services to raise sponsorship & funding for the National Apprenticeship Awards 2022 cycle, to include the national and regional ceremonies.

The National Apprenticeship Awards celebrate and recognise both employers who are successfully using apprenticeships to improve their business performance and tackle skills shortages, and apprentices whose contribution to the workplace has exceeded their employers' expectations and resulted in measurable benefits or who have overcome difficulties to succeed through their apprenticeship.

This tender opportunity will result in an initial 1 year contract period with the option to extend for three periods of 12 months each (1+1+1+1). The breakdown of budget per year is included within the procurement documents - the overall value stated here is for the maximum 4 year period
