Summary of the contracting process

The Education and Training Foundation has initiated a tender titled "Further Pathways to FE Teaching" aimed at expanding pathways to teaching careers in further education (FE). This procurement falls under the education and training services category and is set in various UK regions, including London, Bristol, and Birmingham. The current stage of the procurement is in the Tender phase, with a deadline for submissions on 26 January 2018. The total budget allocated for this project is £50,000, and it follows an open procedure below the threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on education and training, particularly those that can provide mentoring, placement services, and support for final year undergraduates interested in teaching. Suitable competitors would include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as the Foundation seeks to partner with up to six geographically separated organisations to ensure sufficient regional coverage for this initiative. Engaging in this process not only supports educational development but also positions businesses to play a vital role in enhancing teaching recruitment within the FE sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Further Pathways to FE Teaching

Notice Description

The Foundation seeks to encourage final year undergraduates to consider a career in teaching in FE. One approach to this is to get final year students to spend some time in FE providers [colleges or ITPs], helping with the delivery. The Foundation is seeking partners to organise mentored placements with FE sector providers and facilitating this by offering financial incentives to the students and operational funding to the colleges/ITPs. As the partner might be working at a local level, we may be looking to up to 6 geographically separate partners to ensure the desired regional coverage. The proposed locations for the projects are: - London - Bristol - Birmingham - Manchester - Cambridge - Leicester The specific work involves: -identifying FE providers that are interested in taking in final year students in this manner -identifying HEIs within which to promote this campaign -recruiting suitable final year students -matching students to FE provider 'placements' -disbursing relevant monies and keeping account -providing an evaluation of the project The students would be committed to spending a minimum of 40 hours at a local FE provider, and comply with the activities as directed by the FE provider. Payments would be made at completion with an advance to cover any travel or expenses. The FE provider would be committed to providing placements appropriate to the students' subject knowledge and which provide a taste of the teaching culture and practice. Payments to FE providers would be per placement and split 50/50 at start and finish. The Foundation successfully piloted this approach with East Durham College and 20 placements were completed. This means that suitable support materials are already available to be used with possible local adaptation.
