What the notice says

Northumbria University provides a Construction Quantity Surveyor Degree Apprenticeship (BSc Quantity Surveying (Construction)). This means we are required to obtain SEATS/SMSTS training for Construction QS apprentices accredited by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). SMSTS is a five-day course aimed at project managers and site agents, while SEATS is a one-day course focused on environmental responsibilities within the construction industry. The current training requires training and associated approved qualifications, as specified within the Construction Quantity Surveyor standard (ST0045/AP01). Due to the apprenticeship rules we are looking to identify any suppliers who have in house capabilities to deliver our requirements in the volumes needed, which are c. 60 plus of each assessments: •Site Safety Plus – Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) •Site Safety Plus – Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme (SEATS) For more information about this opportunity, please visit the eSourcing portal at: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Newcastle-upon-Tyne:-Education-and-training-services./6465K33J3Q To respond to this opportunity, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/6465K33J3Q
