This Hub site has been created to support SEATS with the process of procuring high quality education and training solutions for our employer partners from further and higher education providers. Please use this Discover ITT page and procurement portal to complete SEATS tenders.

SUMMARY INFORMATION

 

  • There are currently no open tenders. Our next ITT opportunity is expected summer 2024.

  • Higher education providers including higher education institutions, further education colleges and independent training providers are invited to tender.

  • This ITT seeks to identify one or more education and training provider(s) to deliver a range of higher and degree level apprenticeships which meet the identified needs of partner employer organisations.

  • Provision solutions being sought in future ITTs may focus on a range of industry skill routes: Data Automation/AI, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Logistics, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Construction & Built Environment and Health and Care, as well as professional and leadership skills.

  • Those responding to an ITT would not be expected to deliver all of these routes and may engage in the ITT if they can provide solutions for one or more route.

  • Education and training provision in these industries would be expected to commence from the 2024/25 academic year.

  • All responses to this tender opportunity must be submitted using the portal provided on this site.
