This procurement is classified under the education and training services industry and will cover delivery across various regions in the United Kingdom, including North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London. The tender is currently at the planning stage with an end date for submissions set for 25 February 2019, and the contract period is planned from 4 March 2019 to 31 March 2020. The process is an open tender under the "open procedure (below threshold)" method. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research and evaluation services, particularly those that specialise in education and training consultancy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, given their potentially relevant experience and innovation in educational assessments. Engaging in this contract could enhance their visibility and credibility in the education sector, ultimately contributing to business growth and expertise in public procurement. ## Notice The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) are seeking a tenderer to evaluate the 'Pathways to Further Education' programme. The main aim of this evaluation is to provide evidence on whether the programme was successful in raising awareness of FE teaching as a career option amongst final year undergraduates and post-graduates with relevant industry experience. The evaluation should explore whether the participants enjoyed their experience of FE, establish whether they developed a good understanding of possible careers and opportunities within the FE sector and explore in more depth participants' expectations and whether their expectations were met. Similarly, we would also like to explore whether the college/organisations headteachers' expectations were met and whether they would like to be part of this project in the future. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/567c5485-ed0e-409c-b9f8-07299d151114 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 25 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOUNDATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 9SP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Pimlico North | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80430000 - Adult-education services at university level ## Release History - 12 Feb 2019 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/567c5485-ed0e-409c-b9f8-07299d151114 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/567c5485-ed0e-409c-b9f8-07299d151114 12th February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB156541 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.et-foundation.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
