This initiative falls under the social work and related services industry and aims to provide essential support for newly qualified social workers and the development of continuing professional development (CPD) programmes. Key milestones include a Supplier Briefing Event scheduled for 11th December 2017, as well as an engagement end date set for 15th December 2017. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in training, development, and support services tailored for social workers and associated professionals. Organisations with expertise in delivering educational programmes, particularly in leadership development within social care, would be well-positioned to compete. The Supplier Briefing Event will also provide a chance for interested companies to engage with the procurement team and gather further insights into the project and its requirements, enabling them to tailor their proposals effectively. ## Notice See 'Attachments' for full description and further information. This is a combined procurement exercise for two lots. The first is to administer Departmental funding to support the development of child and family social workers. In particular, for the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE). ASYE is an employer-led, induction programme, helping newly qualified Social Workers (NQSWs) transition into frontline practice. It is key to growing confidence amongst NQSWs and influences the quality of support and service provided to vulnerable children and their families. The second lot is for the development and delivery of new CPD programmes for child and family social workers. In particular delivery of the Practice Supervisor Development Programme (PSDP), a leadership and management development programme for child and family social workers in local authority employment. Practice Supervisors play a pivotal role in delivering good quality services to children and families through their support and oversight of frontline practitioners. Additional information: We intend to hold a Supplier Briefing Event on Monday the 11th December from 11.00am to 13.30pm at the Department for Education, Sanctuary Buildings, Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3BT. As a Supplier Briefing Event was previously held for the PSDP programme on (31/08/17) this event will primarily focus on the ASYE Programme. We expect the event to provide an opportunity for all interested to obtain further details on the proposed procurement process and timetable, as well as enable dialogue between potential suppliers and key members of the Department for Education project team involved in this procurement. To register your interest in attending this event, please email Socialworker.CPDTENDER@education.gov.uk Please note that places will be limited to two people per organisation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f5b8ada-2dce-4dfd-8157-b0e99287a3f4 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Dec 2017 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | 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 | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 30 Nov 2017 at 09:46 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f5b8ada-2dce-4dfd-8157-b0e99287a3f4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1f5b8ada-2dce-4dfd-8157-b0e99287a3f4 30th November 2017 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e8c78237-14b6-482b-b319-a1d587c61b54 Description ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
