Pre Market Engagement - New Apprenticeship Entrant Training

Description

Network Rail (NR) is looking to procure a main provider to provide Rail engineering technician (level3) apprenticeships via suppliers registered (or have an active registration application) on Apprentice Provider and Assessment Register (APAR). Network Rail would like to take this opportunity to seek further engagement and interest from the market to understand the appetite and capability of suppliers to fulfil a national contract with localised delivery for up to 8 years. ESFA rules must be adhered to. The service scope is attached to this notice. (NOT SURE WE CAN ATTACH SCOPE WHEN WRITING THIS SO MAY NEED TO ASK THEM TO REQUEST IT IF NOT) Network Rail will hold a Supplier Day, location to be confirmed on the 16th of October 2023 where Suppliers will learn more about this opportunity and have a face to face meeting with the project team. Network Rail have limited attendance to two attendees per organisation. Network Rail would like to use this session to understand from providers: 1. How could you deliver the technical aspects of the discipline specific RET standard? 2. Can you deliver the technical skills training yourselves? 3. If you subcontract this element, how will you maintain the 25% ESFA rule? 4. If you could deliver within 25% due to the breadth of apprenticeship training provision you offer, what would you do if this changes (either by a reduction in your total provision or tighter rules introduced by the ESFA) 5. Are there some elements in our scope that we could potentially separate from the apprenticeship? If you are interested in attending the supplier day please email paul.norman2@networkrail.co.uk with the names and contact details for the attendees.
