Description

The College wishes to establish a framework with suitable providers of accommodation for our apprentices/students whilst they are studying with us.
The College's apprentices come from across the UK for block release programmes. They are all employed as apprentices and any contract would be made by the College on behalf of the employer. The employer and apprentice could be required to sign a tripartite agreement on the residents' code of conduct. Any issues are taken seriously and disciplinary action could be taken by the College and/or the employer where necessary.
The College has between 150 and 200 apprentices in accommodation during any given week and this is forecast to increase. The majority are currently accommodated in home stays with local landlords and landladies.
The College is looking to expand its available network of accommodation and capacity to accommodate apprentices and HE students, unless otherwise stated students will be aged 18 years and over. It is expected that up to 100 beds may be needed in any week though this could be from a number of suppliers depending on the students/employers exact requirements and room availability at the time of booking. Most beds will be needed for four nights from Monday - Friday.
The College is looking for a framework of suppliers to meet this need. Suppliers able to offer fewer bedrooms stand equal chance of being successful in being awarded a place on the framework.
