Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Education and Training Foundation has completed the procurement process for the "Professional Exchange #3" project, classified under Education and Training Services (CPV code: 80000000). The contracts, with a total value of £45,000, were awarded on July 1, 2016, following an open tender process. The initiative targets various geographic regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, North West, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, South East, South West, and London. The contract period spans from July 1, 2016, to July 31, 2017, with the tender phase having concluded on May 25, 2016.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education and training services, especially those focused on technical and vocational education. Businesses that can effectively support practitioners in hard-to-reach areas or those looking to expand their offerings nationally would be well-suited to engage in future contracts of this nature. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement process appears supportive of diverse service providers.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Professional Exchange #3

Notice Description

5 contracts were awarded by the Foundation to develop Professional Exchanges in areas not yet covered by the existing pilots - Tenders for provision in geographical locations where an Exchange currently ran, were not considered. Existing pilots were in the following locations: East Midlands, West Midlands, South-East, London, Teesside, Suffolk and Hampshire. As a further extension to the pilot phase, consideration was given to tenders who covered larger geographical areas (on a national scale) and who supported practitioners in 'hard to reach' activity where practitioners might be less able to access support from their peers (for example because there were fewer practitioners in their area of specialism, or because of physical barriers to peer sharing).
