Summary of the contracting process

The Frontline Organisation has announced an award for the validation of its Social Work programme to Lancaster University. This award follows an open procurement process under the category of Education and Training Services (CPV code 80000000). The contract, valued at £800,000, spans from 1st July 2020 to 30th November 2022 and involves validating Frontline's two-year Social Work programme, which includes a Post-Graduate Diploma in Social Work and a Master's in Advanced Relationship-Based Social Work Practice with Children and Families. Key locations covered by the contract include the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and United Kingdom. The procurement process was completed and published in December 2024, with the award stage officially recorded in June 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for higher education institutions specialising in social work education and training services to engage in a high-profile, impactful project. The validation of an established and successful programme such as Frontline's offers visibility and the potential for partnerships that can extend beyond the initial contract period. Though this specific tender has been awarded, similar tenders may be well-suited to universities or educational bodies with robust systems for programme validation and a capacity for delivering comprehensive education and training solutions across diverse geographical regions.

Notice Title

Frontline Invitation to Tender HEI Validation

Notice Description

Frontline has recently published an Invitation to Tender for the validation of the Frontline programme. We are seeking an excellent HEI partner to validate our successful two-year Social Work programme. The contract is for a minimum of two cohorts, who will start the programme in 2020 and 2021, and has the potential to be extended for a further two cohorts. The programme consists of a Post-Graduate Diploma in Social Work (120 credits) and a Master's in Advanced Relationship Based Social Work Practice with Children and Families (60 Credits). The programme is designed and delivered by Frontline, beginning with an intensive five-week taught summer residential, followed by a series of recall days, assessments, observations, and supervision carried out during the practice-based learning experience. The qualifying programme has been running for five years and this summer will see our fourth cohort graduate, and our sixth cohort begin the programme.
