Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is awarding a contract for the Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) programme, a strategic initiative aimed at improving teacher recruitment in challenging subjects. The contract, worth £6,000,000, will run from 15 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. The open procurement method employed reflects an inclusive approach, allowing various suppliers to participate. Interested parties had until 26 February 2021 to submit their tenders, with the contract having been awarded and publicly announced on 1 November 2021.

This opportunity is particularly lucrative for businesses in the education and training services sector, especially those focusing on innovative teacher training solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage in this area, as the initiative aims to enhance the depth of subject knowledge for aspiring teachers, creating avenues for educational service providers to contribute meaningfully to the recruitment efforts in the teaching profession.
