Details

This guidance is for lead providers of post-16 education and training. These are training providers that have a contract or agreement to deliver education and training with:

  • the Department for Education (DfE)
  • the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA)

You must get approval in writing before awarding a contract to a subcontractor, if you have not previously subcontracted DfE or ESFA funded provision.

The guidance outlines the process which you need to go through and information you need to provide.
