Notice Title

National Leaders of Governance (NLG) Reform

Notice Description

The Department aims to procure a supplier to deliver the reformed NLG programme. The Department's vision is to see robust and effective governance in every school and academy trust. As the first line of accountability, high quality, effective and ethical governance is key to success in our school system and for the future of children and young people. Where governance is weak, there is increased risk of poor academic performance and poor financial management. The NLG reforms will deliver high-quality support to schools and trusts, identify the underlying causes of weak governance and make improvements. We will deliver through a targeted approach, aligning with DfE governance and school/trust improvement provision, to target schools and trusts where there are governance concerns. The programme will recruit, train, and deploy a high calibre cadre of experts in school and trust governance to deliver peer-led support for governance improvement. Contracts will run for an initial period of two years from May 2021 to April 2023 with provision to extend for two further single year periods. Consortium bids, particularly including or led by multi-academy trusts, are welcomed. As part of our scope we are looking to draw on expertise from strong, well-governed multi-academy trusts and continue to build capacity so that, in the future, trusts will be well-placed to deliver governance improvement support.
