Notice Title

2021 Full Induction Programme cohort of the National Roll-Out of the Early Career Framework (Additional Recruitment)

Notice Description

Variation to call-off contracts made via the Framework Agreement for the National Roll-Out of the Early Career Framework to deliver additional recruitment for the 2021 Cohort of the Full Induction Programme. For more details on the Early Career Framework please see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-career-framework-reforms-overview/early-career-framework-reforms-overview Additional information: The award value is based on the total potential additional value awarded under this call-off and the individual call-off contract values are dependent on performance against recruitment and retention milestones. The call-off contract payment model includes an additional uplift fee for participants recruited from schools with at least 40% of their pupils eligible for Pupil Premium or in Local Authority Districts identified as in the top 20% most sparse in terms of schools per hectare. The department reserves the right to increase the call-off contract values by up to 5% to incorporate any uplift payments in excess of the awarded value. The department increased the existing contract values via a contract variation option to increase call-off contract values up to an additional 50% to fund additional participants where targeted recruitment is required to address recruitment shortfalls/cold-spots or evolving demand.
