ApprenticeshipsPolicies & commitments

BlueLight Commercial is tendering for a Framework for Police Initial Entry Routes including Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship, Degree Holder Entry Programme for Police Forces in England and Wales.

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.

What it takes to bid this

Bid effort is not estimable from a framework ceiling — the published figure is the agreement’s maximum across every supplier and call-off, not the value of the work you would bid for. The requirements below still apply.
