This procurement process, at the open tender stage, is designed to identify organisations capable of delivering flexible support tailored to local practitioner needs across the West Midlands region, including Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and the metropolitan county. The tender was published on 15 December 2017, with a submission deadline set for 16 January 2018. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 29 January 2018 and conclude on 31 July 2020, with a total estimated value of £50,000.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for both existing providers and new entrants in the educational services sector, particularly those with a focus on localised or national delivery mechanisms.
