Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education (DfE) is planning a procurement process titled "Further Education Workforce and Governors’ Training, Professional Development and Recruitment Support Activities." This initiative falls under the education and training services category and is aimed at enhancing the governance and quality of teaching across further education providers in the UK. A key date for interested organisations is the webinar scheduled for 10:00 on 26 April, where details about the procurement will be discussed. Organisations must express their interest through the Jaggaer message board by 13:00 on 25 April, with a deadline for submitting a questionnaire set for 12:00 on 29 April.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses involved in training services, educational consultancy, or recruitment/support activities within the education sector. Solely focused on supporting the further education sector, firms with a proven track record in professional development, training programme design, and educational governance are particularly well-suited to compete. The procurement process is designed to gather insights and capabilities from prospective suppliers, allowing them to contribute constructively to the DfE's objectives of enhancing educational quality and workforce development.

Notice Title

Further Education Workforce and Governors' Training, Professional Development and Recruitment Support Activities

Notice Description

The DfE has previously published its commitments to Further Education (FE) providers (which includes charitable FE providers and 6th Form College Corporations) in the Skills for Jobs: Lifelong Learning for Opportunity and Growth White Paper. The paper identifies a need to ensure all FE providers are well managed, governed and have the best quality teachers and lecturers. In doing so, we will ensure that post-16 further education students have access to world-class technical and vocational education, providing the skills both individuals and employers need for the future economy. The DfE is considering how best it achieves delivery of the strategy through the provision of activities that support effective training, professional development, and recruitment within the FE sector. This incorporates the teaching workforce, governance professionals and FE provider governors.
