Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is planning a tender titled "Chief Finance Officer (CFO) Mentoring Pilot," focused on providing education and training services. This procurement process, currently at the planning stage, is set to go live in the coming weeks. The contract is valued at £132,000 and will take place across various locations, including the United Kingdom and European territories. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 1st July 2021 and conclude on 31st August 2022. Bidders can expect the invitation to tender process to be administered electronically via the Jaggaer e-Procurement Solution.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational support and training services, particularly those with capabilities in mentorship programme management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the focus on building capacity in financial management within the academies sector. Engaging in this pilot could not only enhance their service offerings but also contribute to scaling up operations, should the programme expand based on its outcomes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Chief Finance Officer (CFO) Mentoring Pilot

Notice Description

ESFA will work with a Supplier who will identify, recruit, screen, induct and manage a minimum of 50 individuals (mentors) to fulfil the CFO mentoring programme. The supplier will oversee the mentoring process, ensuring the relationships are on target and will work with ESFA to unblock any issues. The Supplier will also lead on developing an evaluation for the pilot, working closely with ESFA to agree the best way to do this. By providing sustained support, a CFO mentoring programme can play a key role in building capacity and capability for effective financial management within the academies sector. Results from this pilot will provide an indication of emerging outcomes and the effectiveness of the programme and will inform any decision as to whether we will scale up the pilot in the future. We anticipate the invitation to tender process will go live in the next few weeks. The Authority will be administering the procurement process electronically via Jaggaer, the Authority e-Procurement Solution (e-PS) portal.
