Lot Information
Lot 1
The Department is interested in hearing from organisations with relevant experience and insight to inform options to achieve the following objectives: - Attracting high potential graduates or career changers who might not have otherwise considered teaching - Delivering a high-quality initial teacher training and leadership development programme - Creating a positive impact on teacher supply and pupil attainment in areas of greatest need across England - Developing a school leadership pipeline at scale Attracting high potential candidates into teaching to help improve pupil attainment in areas of the greatest need is a key element of the Department's 'Teacher recruitment and retention strategy (2019)' - GOV.UK . The Department currently procures a High Potential Initial Teacher Training and Leadership Development programme for annual cohorts of trainees. The programme seeks to recruit and train high potential graduates and career changers who are likely to be in high demand across the labour market (and may have been unlikely to have otherwise joined the profession). Trainees are placed in schools serving low-income communities with high numbers of disadvantaged pupils. It is currently an employment based route with trainees completing a two-year Leadership Development Programme, with the award of Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) at the end of year one and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) at the end of year two. Further details of the existing arrangement are attached (Key Information about the current HPITT Programme). We are keen to gain market insights and understand market capacity, capability and interest. In addition to understanding this in relation to the current delivery model which is deployed to meet the Department's requirements, we are receptive to understanding alternative and innovative solutions to meeting our requirements. This will inform our design, delivery and commercial strategies. We are inviting engagement on: * Potential delivery solutions * Service Scope - configuration and level of aggregation of service requirements * Scale - geographical coverage - including national, regional, sub-regional * Commercial Delivery Model - prime contractor, consortia, multiple suppliers * Market Development - supplier capability and capacity, barriers to entry * Risk - IPR, branding, assumptions, TUPE, risk allocation * Contract Strategy - term, value, extension/variation options * Financial Mechanisms - charging model, outcome-based, open-book * Performance Management - metrics, outcomes, KPIs, incentives, remedies Organisations with understanding and/or experience of graduate or teacher recruitment, assessment and job placement; undergraduate and post-graduate initial teacher training; and/or professional and leadership development are encouraged to participate.
