Description

The Department for Education (DfE) seeks a single supplier to support and maintain the transition of the T Level Ambassador Network (TAN) from a single tier national network to a national network with a regional substructure. This will be a contract for an initial 2 years with the possibility to extend for a further 1 year. TAN currently comprises over 900 volunteer ambassadors from employers, providers, students, and other stakeholders who promote T Levels. The purpose of the contracted service is to enhance the impact and reach of the TAN by establishing and managing three regional sub-networks (North, Midlands, South), while maintaining national consistency and strategic alignment. Summary of key requirements: • Introduce and embed the regional substructure in collaboration with DfE and TAN leadership. • Develop and deliver tailored operational plans for each region. • Coordinate and support ambassador activity to increase reach and effectiveness. • Strengthen regional employer engagement and address local skills needs. • Ensure regional activities align with national goals and foster sustainable local partnerships.
