Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education in England has completed a public procurement process titled "A typical School Admissions Communication." This initiative falls under the education and training services category and was designed to support Local Authorities in informing Year 9 parents about atypical schools such as UTCs or studio schools within their areas. The tender was initiated under a grant agreement procurement method and concluded with an award date of 7th July 2017, while the contract period spans from 17th August 2017 to 31st March 2018. The end date for the tender period was set for 17th June 2017, with a budget allocation of £226,000 directed towards 150 participating local authorities.

This procurement represents a valuable opportunity for businesses engaged in educational services and consultancy, particularly those that assist Local Authorities in communication and administrative functions. Companies offering expertise in managing school admissions or innovative ways to reach out to parents may find themselves well-suited to compete in future tenders related to educational initiatives. The scale and funding of this programme also suggest potential opportunities for partnerships or collaborations between larger suppliers and smaller, niche service providers in the education sector.
