This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
The University of Chichester is seeking to appoint an experienced provider of functional skills as part of the apprenticeships provision.
As outlined in the Department of Education Funding Rules, apprentices who are aged up to 18 at the start of their practical period must be able to evidence a pass of a level two qualification in English and Maths (equivalent to grade C/4 or above).
This qualification is then part of the mandatory requirements for end point assessment.
Apprentices who are aged 19+ at the start of their apprenticeship now no longer have to evidence a pass of a level two qualification in English and Maths (equivalent to grade C/4 or above) for their End Point Assessment but can opt to do so as part of their studies.
The University of Chichester does not have its own level two English and Maths provision for apprentices, and therefore the tender facilitates this requirement.
Requirements include: - Initial diagnostic testing. - Deliver programme of learning to enable apprentices to undertake assessment for level 2 functional skills in English and Maths. - Deliver functional skills programs at Entry Level or Level 1, to enable apprentices to develop and grow key skills to then undertake Level 2 functional skills program in English and/or Maths. - To provide full assessment services to deliver examinations for Entry Level, Level 1 and Level 2 Functional Skills in English and Maths. - To provide online sessions for apprentices to engage with the program of study. - To provide an online resource/virtual learning environment for the apprentices to develop their skills and confidence in English and Maths, alongside the online taught programs. - The individual cost for apprentices to undertake Functional Skills taught delivery and assessment will be accessible funds outlined by the Department of Education Funding Rules, and drawn down by the University of Chichester from the ILR, so contract costs will not be expected to exceed this. - The program is to start from September 2025. - The program should aim to enable apprentices to complete Level 2 functional skills in English and Maths within one academic year.
Full details of our requirements are available in the tender documents.
