Expectations for Subcontractors:
Subcontractors must demonstrat
e how their services align with the agreed
•
rationale.
• They must agree not to pursue subcontracting based solely on financial opportunity. • Subcontractors proposing expansions must notify SCL at least 12 weeks prior to delivery changes so rationales can be reassessed.
Expected Subcontracting Levels
for each academic year :
16-19 provision: <2 5% subcontracted
•
AEB provision: <5% subcontracted
•
• Apprenticeships: <5% subcontracted (specialist delivery only)
Our rationale for subcontracting includes:
Enhancing learner opportunities
•
Filling gaps in specialist provision
•
Supporting better geographical access
•
• Providing entry points for disadvantaged or underrepresented groups
SCL’s Board and senior leaders will ensure subcontractors are
high-quality and
low risk to public funds, supported by staff with the knowledge and experience to select, manage, and contract effectively.
