This procurement falls under the Adult and Other Education Services category and is part of an open procurement process, with a total value of £40,000. Interested parties can submit their expressions of interest until 26 June 2018. The training programme is expected to commence on 1 September 2018 and run until 31 August 2021, specifically targeting the East of England region. This tender presents a significant opportunity for training providers specialised in education, particularly those with experience in outdoor education and accredited Forest School training. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the council seeks innovative and competitive partnerships that can deliver high-quality training. Providers with creative ideas for a long-term collaboration and a focus on building an infrastructure of qualified practitioners will find this opportunity particularly beneficial for business growth. ## Notice As part of its vision to provide all children in Cambridgeshire schools and early years settings with access to high quality outdoor learning opportunities, Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking to work in partnership with a provider or providers of accredited Forest School training and qualifications. The Council is looking to put in place a partnership with schools and early years and childcare providers to build an infrastructure of qualified teachers and practitioners over a three- to five-year period. A key element of this will be a countywide programme of training to create a cohort of confident forest schools practitioners, qualified to different levels. Expressions of interest are invited from experienced and innovative training providers offering suitable accreditation who can offer competitive and creative ideas for a long-term partnership. Training will be taken up and paid for by individuals, providers and schools, and this agreement will not be directly funded by the County Council.
