As part of this we are issuing this Request for Information (RFI). The purpose of this RFI is to allow Teach First to: - engage with the market and understand the potential solutions that are available to meet the requirement - gain a greater understanding of specific suppliers' abilities, core business and strategic outlook - systematically identify similarities and differences between suppliers in the market - finalise our requirements Any resulting procurement will be conducted competitively.
