They are taken after GCSEs and are broadly equivalent in size to three A Levels. They have been developed in collaboration with employers and education providers and combine classroom-based learning with a substantial industry placement. T Levels provide an opportunity for learners to gain the knowledge and skills they need to enter university, higher apprenticeships, or skilled employment. The first cohort graduated in August 2022 with a pass rate of 92%. The rollout of T Levels has been gradual to ensure the quality of the programme, but from September 2023 we expect that more than 350 providers will be delivering T Levels, with 23 T Levels available. Alongside the development of T Levels, we have rolled out the T Level Transition Programme (TLTP), which provides a high-quality route onto T Levels for students who would benefit from the additional time and preparation before embarking on their preferred T Level. The delivery of the support package will begin in September 2023. The contract will cover support until 31 August 2025, with the possibility of 2 x 1-year extensions to 31 August 2026 and 31 August 2027 respectively. The Department will continue to monitor interest in T Levels and update assumptions on volumes (including number of eligible providers). Required services: The purpose of the support package is to ensure that providers of T Levels and TLTP are able to deliver high quality programmes, including sourcing suitable T Level Industry Placements and TLTP work experience for each learner. The package includes 3 strands of support. Each will be let as a separate lot: - Lot 1 Support with planning and delivering T Levels, including: - provision of long-term support structures, including high-quality guidance resources and peer networks - a point of contact for each provider - development and delivery of events - industry placements support - monitoring of and reporting on providers’ progress, including industry placement sourcing - Lot 2 Support with industry placement employment engagement strategies, including: - development of effective employer engagement strategy toolkits - guidance on implementing successful employer engagement strategies - direct hands-on support to embed engagement strategies using the toolkits - Lot 3 Support with planning and delivering TLTP, including: - provision of long-term support structures, including high-quality guidance resources and peer networks - regular contact for each provider preparing and delivering TLTP for the first time, and an ad hoc support facility for all providers - development and delivery of events - monitoring of and reporting on providers’ progress Read full description ## CPV classification Technical and vocational secondary education services Education and training services Technical secondary education services Vocational secondary education services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-038038-2022-11-08T17:06:12Z [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-038038-2022-11-08T17:06:12Z) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
