Lot 1: On 23 February 2021 we published a notice of our Intention to Restrict the qualification we wish to develop to one form and to secure its development and delivery via a commissioning route (https://www.qualificationswales.org/media/7136/intention-to-restrict-notice.pdf). The deadline for representations has now passed. We would like to speak to awarding bodies that may be interested in developing a qualification in this area. The information that we gather will be used to inform the development of the contract specification which would be used if we decide to proceed with the procurement process. We will be arranging Teams meetings with potential bidders to take place between 28 April and 14 May. The meetings will take the form of a structured discussion with us. This will involve us asking participants a series of questions which we will provide in advance. Responses will be informal and not be considered in or form part of any subsequent procurement process. Questions that participants put to us during the dialogue will be collated so that when we are in a position to respond, we will issue one set of information to all interested parties at the same time. Additional information: Parties interested in participating in pre-tender engagement with us should email procurement@qualificationswales.org to book a Teams meeting, Please insert ‘Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales pre-tender engagement’ in the subject area of the email, state your interest and the names, job titles and email addresses of those who will take part from your organisation.
