Notice Information

Notice Title

International Teacher Recruitment and Associated Services

Notice Description

See 'Attachments' for full description. The National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL), on behalf of the Department for Education (DfE), wish to commission a framework agreement to enable the provision of services for the recruitment of teachers or the pipeline thereof from outside of England, along with bespoke packages of acclimatisation and development. Improvements in the economy, a shrinking graduate pool and greater competition in the labour market will make it more difficult for the education system to meet the demand for additional teachers domestically. Therefore, NCTL are inviting tenders from providers who can evidence the relevant knowledge and experience of international teacher recruitment and/or supporting the transition and development of overseas teachers, including but not be limited to; a knowledge of the English education system and curriculum; relevant workforce knowledge; and previous experience of operating within, or supporting individuals from, overseas markets. The duration of the framework will initially be for 2 years with the option to extend for further period, or periods, of up to 2 years, making the maximum duration 4 years. The framework will have 3 separate lots and the number of suppliers to be appointed to the framework will be 6 suppliers per lot. Additional information: All potential providers are invited to attend a WebEx event on 28 July 2017. The event will provide the opportunity to hear about the service requirement, the tender process and submit questions. To register your attendance for the WebEx, please email international.framework@education.gov.uk. The Invitation to Bid will be launched and managed through the NCTL e-procurement system, REDIMO2. Bidders who are not already registered on REDIMO2, will need to register their company details on the NCTL e-procurement portal in order to access this tender opportunity. Information about how to register is available at Https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/account/login/?cid=DFE Lots 1 and 2 awarded on 9th November 2017. Lot 3 not awarded.
