T- Level Specialist Equipment

The purpose of this PIN is to inform market suppliers of a potential future exercise to procure a range of flexible manufacturing systems to renew and upgrade current equipment and technology within the engineering hall at WMG Academy for Young Engineers Solihull, Chelmsley Road, Solihull, Birmingham, B37 5FD.

Background

Launched in September 2020, T Levels are new 2-year courses which are taken after GCSEs and are broadly equivalent in size to 3 A Levels. These courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and education providers so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares students for entry into skilled employment, an apprenticeship or related technical study through further or higher education.

WMG Academy for Young engineers is a 14 - 19 school with a specialism in engineering and are currently running a T Level in Engineering Manufacture, Process and Control. As part of the delivery of the curriculum the students will undertake a range of practical and machining tasks in our workshop. WMG Academy Trust is looking to invest in creating a practical learning environment that is industry standard and leading nationally in the delivery of vocational education for the next decade.
