Overview
Framework Agreement for the provision of Apprenticeship Standards and Associated Training. The Framework is designed to meet the needs of all public sector organisations which includes YPO's internal requirements.
YPO may seek to introduce collaborative partners to this Framework throughout its duration to support growth. The routes are as prescribed by 'Skills England'.
These were defined using labour market information regarding the size and nature of occupations grouped to reflect shared requirements for occupationally related skills and knowledge. The routes are listed on the left hand side of the Skills England website: https://skillsengland.education.gov.uk/apprenticeships/ YPO will list all routes, along with standards which are approved for delivery, and providers will have the ability to select which standards region they are able to deliver in when bidding for the framework.
Additional details
The routes will be as listed by the Skills England guidance. The framework will replicate the structure that is provided by Skills England.
If the structure is amended by the institute then the framework structure will be amended to run in-line on the next quarter update. Please be advised that Skills England has the ability to change the title of routes and move standards into alternative routes based on feedback from contracting authorities, YPO reserve the right to follow the same process based on Skills England's direction.
Any new routes will be added onto the framework on a quarterly basis with the subsequent standards aligned under them. On a quarterly basis YPO will add on new developed standards as they appear on the above website, the number of standards will continue to grow and will be updated in the documents.
Providers will be able to bid for all live standards that have been listed from the beginning of the framework and all new standards that are added by Skills England throughout the duration of the framework. The standards are each listed on the Skills England website and can be found at: https://skillsengland.education.gov.uk/apprenticeships/ At the point of the framework being published there will be: - 11 regions - 15 routes
