Description

Award of contract(s) to design, implement and deliver the Technical Qualification (TQ) component for each of the seven T Levels of the UK Government's Wave 2 - T Level programme. T Levels are a new classroom-based technical study programme forming part of the UK Government's Post-16 Skills Plan. They will be available to young people alongside apprenticeships as one half of a high quality technical education offer. T Levels will be primarily studied at an education or training provider. Students will study a broad occupational area before specialising, and will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills on a substantial industry placement. This is divided into six Lots, with five Lots representing the TQ component of a T Level, and one Lot (Construction) representing two TQs.
