With an emphasis on SME and VCSE suitability, the opportunity caters to a wide range of business profiles aiming to supply educational training solutions. Companies engaged in providing educational support and resources to schools, particularly those with experience in mentorship and professional development within educational settings, will find this tender particularly relevant. The provision of up to £38,400 Gross Value offers a substantial contract over an extended period, providing sustainable business growth as well as the chance to expand offerings within the education sector.
