Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education (DfE) has completed the procurement process for the "STEM International Teacher Recruitment - 2019/20 Pilot". This initiative falls under the education and training services category and is intended to address challenges in recruiting teachers in specific subjects due to a strengthening economy and rising pupil numbers. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 30 June 2019. The contract will run from 1 July 2019 to 31 July 2020, with the awarded contract valued at £57,835, and it includes delivery across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in international recruitment and teacher training services, particularly those adept in supporting acclimatisation and employment processes for foreign teachers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited for this tender, given the DfE's aim to recruit international teachers from Jamaica and South Africa. Companies with expertise in cross-cultural integration and educational staffing could leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and reach within the education sector.
