Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education (DfE) is facilitating the Early Career Framework (ECF) National Roll-Out Provider Networking Events, aimed at developing partnerships for the delivery of training programmes for early career teachers and mentors. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with engagement activities concluding on 5th March 2021. The networking events will take place online on 4th and 5th March 2021, providing an opportunity for interested organisations to interact with newly appointed lead providers and discuss potential collaboration as delivery partners. The procurement has been classified under the Education and training services category.

This initiative creates significant opportunities for organisations looking to expand their presence in the education sector, particularly those specialised in teacher training and educational mentoring services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to benefit from participating in these networking events. Attendance is encouraged for those interested in subcontracting with lead providers, as it may lead to valuable partnerships and improved service offerings within the ECF framework.

Notice Title

Early Career Framework (ECF) National Roll-Out Provider Networking Events

Notice Description

The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to notify interested parties of the forthcoming Early Career Framework (ECF) National Roll-out Provider Networking Events. The Department for Education (DfE) intends to award lead providers to a Framework Agreement for the delivery of the National Roll-out of the ECF in February 2021. To support the development of supply chains in order to deliver the ECF, the department is facilitating two online events on 4th and 5th of March 2021 respectively. The objective of these events is to allow the newly appointed ECF lead providers the opportunity to set out, to potential delivery partners, their training programmes for early career teachers and mentors including how delivery partners could work with lead providers to deliver the National Roll-out of the ECF. Any organisation interested in the opportunity to work as a delivery partner (subcontractor) for one of the ECF lead providers is encouraged to attend. For more information, please see the document in the Attachments section below. Additional information: Please note: this notice is for expressions of interest from organisations interested in working as a delivery partner (subcontractor) for one of the awarded ECF lead providers. The procurement for the lead providers has now closed. DfE is facilitating the networking events only and will not be brokering relationships between parties or providing support to agree the terms of any individual relationships. It is the responsibility of the parties to progress any relationships and attendance at the event alone is not a guarantee of work. This notice is for information only and is intended to be indicative. Therefore, all information presented here is subject to change. Accordingly, DfE will not be liable for any cost, expenditure, work or effort incurred by any party acting on the basis of this PIN.
