The brief

Delivery must meet the regulations outlined in the ESFA Funding Rules.

Providers should focus on progression outcomes for learners and ensure provision, even at lower levels, is clearly aligned to the needs of employers and growth sectors as well as supporting the College's rationale for subcontracting which can be found on our website https://www.hrc.ac.uk/about-hrc/partnerships-and-subcontractors HRC is seeking providers that can deliver to learners within a 25 mile radius of either of our 2 campuses and all delivery should be completed by 31/07/2022.
