Tips on incorporating apprenticeship and skills into public procurement

Published

We are often asked whether conditions can be included in contracts relating to the provision of apprentices. Last month CCS issued a Procurement Policy Note (PPN) that may be helpful to member institutions who are considering this issue.

The PPN is available on the Further Education of Library Procurement.
