description
In June 2026, Leicester College secured both FE and HE Turing Scheme contracts for 2026/27. To enable selected 2026/27 student cohorts to benefit from overseas further education-based mobility placements, we are currently welcoming applications from experienced and reputable organisations to support us by organising, managing, and delivering these international mobility placements.
Leicester College intends to contract to one or more providers within the contract period.
The anticipated annual value of the services is approximately £25,000 to £125,000 depending on your capacity, costs and our student volumes.
To be considered as a partner organisation we require, as a minimum:
| | Demonstrable experience of supporting international mobility placements with UK further education students, including apprentices |
| | Evidence of working with disadvantaged, underrepresented, and SEND students, with tailored support approaches |
| | Provision of high-quality work placements with external employers that enable students to enhance transferable skills and improve educational and career prospects |
| | Placements for 14 or 15 days (with a minimum of 10 work/study days), or at least 7 days for students with SEND |
| | Placements scheduled between 1 October 2026 and 31 August 2027 |
| | Clear understanding of Turing Scheme funding categories and the DfE grant rates for chosen destinations |
Leicester College will consider destinations where partners have strong employer networks and can deliver value for money within DfE funding rates.
Destinations will be assessed against:
Government Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) travel advice, with particular attention to any regions affected by ongoing political instability or conflict.
College risk assessment protocols. For example, the recent Middle East conflict which could affect stopover plans and cause travel disruptions.
