Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is planning to further expand an intensive mentoring programme aimed at improving school attendance among persistently absent students. This expansion targets multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and Midlands, among others. Key industry categories involved include adult and other education services, training services, and management training services. This engagement phase is currently active, and potential suppliers have until 7 December 2023 for engagement. The subsequent tender process will include a contract period from June 2024 to October 2026, with an option for a one-year extension depending on performance.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the education and training sectors, especially those with expertise in mentoring and support services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, creating a potential avenue for growth and expansion. Ideal candidates will have the capability to provide targeted one-to-one support to students and their families, with an adaptive and responsive approach to overcoming attendance barriers, thereby contributing to educational development and wellbeing.
