Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is managing a public procurement process titled "Attendance Mentors Expansion," which falls under the services category in the education and training sector. The project aims to recruit and train mentors to support children with less than 50% school attendance and their families, improving attendance in selected regions across England. The initial contract period is 29 months, including 2 academic years, starting in June 2024 and ending in October 2026, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. Key dates include the tender closing on 25th March 2024, a Bidder Engagement Event on 5th March 2024, and implementation beginning in October 2024. The Department for Education, located in London, serves as the buying organisation and has earmarked a budget of GBP 15,000,000.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in education and training services, particularly those experienced in mentoring and support programmes for young people. Suitable businesses could include consultancy firms, educational service providers, and organisations with expertise in working with local agencies and schools. With a focus on responsive, one-to-one support tailored to individual needs, businesses with robust training and evaluation frameworks will be well-positioned to compete. The successful supplier will not only deliver essential educational support but also work with evaluators to demonstrate the impact of these interventions, paving the way for potential future collaborations and extensions.
