The Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education is gearing up to re-procure for awarding organisations to run the health and science T Levels.
Pre-procurement documents, seen by FE Week, indicate that a full invitation to tender will be launched by March for the T Levels in health, healthcare science and science, all held currently by NCFE.
This means the first T Levels that were introduced for teaching, in 2020 and 2021, now all have a timetable for re-procurement.
The new contracts will feature a new “demand-sensitive” pricing model, which means awarding organisations can charge providers higher fees if learner numbers are lower than expected.
