Lot 2: Short Courses and Qualifications - Pre-entry to Level 2 courses for Year 11-13 learners, divided into two sub-lots: Lot 2a (ESOL - English for Speakers of Other Languages) and Lot 2b (Accredited Courses and Qualifications). Up to four providers will be awarded (two per Key Stage per sub-lot). Lot 3: Community Enrichment Activities - Creative Arts, Music, Sport, Outdoor Learning, and STEM activities for young people in care. Suppliers may bid for one or more lots.
