Framework for the Provision of Apprenticeship Training Providers - AWARD

Hampshire County Council invites applications from suitably experienced organisations who wish to be considered for selection to tender for the Provision of Apprenticeship Training Providers.

The Framework will commence on 1st September 2022 and will be for a period of three years with the option to extend for a further one year.

Interested parties should register their interest in the project via the In-Tend website https://in-tendhost.co.uk/hampshire, and complete and submit the tender return document together with any supporting information requested by 14.00 hrs on Wednesday 23rd March 2022.

How to obtain the Tender Documents

The Tender documents can be accessed when logged into In-Tend by selecting 'View Details' on the relevant tender advert and clicking the 'Express Interest' tab. Once in the tender there are five tabs - 'Tender', 'ITT - documents', 'Correspondence', 'Clarifications' and 'History'. Select the 2nd tab (ITT - documents) where you will find useful information under 'Tender Details' continue to scroll down to the heading 'Tender Documents Received' where you will be able to view / download the documents.

Please download all the documents and read very carefully.

Opting In and Opting Out

Please note you are required to 'Opt In' before you can access the 'My tender Return' to start populating your response.

The framework is lotted by Apprenticeship Technical Pathways into 17 lots.

PLEASE NOTE you are required to 'Opt In' to view & complete the relevant Questionnaire per lot for this project.

Important information

Please ensure that you regularly save your questionnaire as you complete it. Please note, if you have been inactive on the portal (meaning you haven't clicked any button) for more than 10 minutes, the session may freeze or time out and you may lose the information you have input.

We would recommend that for any questions, where a comprehensive written answer is required, please create these outside of the system (e.g. MS Word) and cut and paste into the appropriate question answer.

The 'Opt Out' functionality will also be available throughout the duration of the tender process. Opting out will give you the option of declaring you no longer want to receive any further communication in relation to this tender along with the opportunity of providing comments and feedback for this decision.

You can choose to 'Opt In' at any time during the tender process if you initially decided to 'Opt Out'.
