Summary of the contracting process

The Education and Training Foundation is currently pursuing a tender for "Pathways to Further Education teaching," focused on enhancing the workforce supply of high-quality teachers in the Further Education (FE) and training sector across various regions in the United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 30th January 2017. The target industries include education and training services, particularly adult education, with a total contract value of £45,000. The contract period is slated to run from 6th February 2017 to 31st July 2017.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses involved in educational services, especially those that can provide support for final year undergraduates considering teaching careers. Suitable organisations may include educational institutions, training providers, and consultancy firms that can facilitate student placements in colleges or Independent Training Providers (ITPs), potentially leading to multiple contract awards for broader regional engagement. The emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) further highlights the importance of localised partnerships in this initiative.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Pathways to Further Education teaching

Notice Description

The Foundation takes the issues of an adequate workforce supply to ensure high quality teachers in the Further Education (FE) and training sector for the future seriously. Underpinning this, is making sure that graduates are aware of and attracted to jobs within the sector, thereby bringing the latest thinking to the workshop and classroom. Encouraging final year students into an arena they may not know of, but which offers a mix of challenges and rewards will increase awareness and expand the pool of potential trainees. Through this tender, the Foundation is seeking to encourage final year undergraduates to consider a career in teaching in the FE and training sector. One approach to this is to get final year students to spend some time in colleges or ITPs, helping with the delivery. The Foundation is seeking a partner to arrange this by means of 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 consider awarding more than one contract (if required) to ensure a degree of regional coverage.
