Description

Tenders are invited for the provision of Specialist Academic Support for Railway Operations Apprenticeships. Since 2019, Keele University has been delivering a Senior Leader Apprenticeship and seeks to extend its provision to provide a specialist award for rail sector leaders, hereafter the SLA (Railway Ops). The University wishes to offer two specialist rail operators start points on the apprenticeship in February and September, for a maximum of 50 learners (25 per start point) per academic year. The Service Provider will be required to provide a comprehensive set of support services to the SLA (Railway Ops) in accordance with the Tender Specification in Section 2 of the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document.

Total Quantity or Scope

The contract will run for a period of three years with options to extend for two further periods of one year. The decision of whether to take up the extension options will be down to the absolute discretion of the University. The estimated total value of the contract over its duration (including the extension options if these are taken up) is £500,000 excluding VAT. Main reasons for the decision not to sub-divide the contract into lots: Given the need for one Service Provider to co-ordinate the delivery of all of the services required, the contract has not been divided into lots.

Renewal Options

Options to extend for two further periods of one year until 15/10/2029.
