This project, which falls under the education and training services category (CPV 80000000), will take place across the United Kingdom, specifically targeting English Further Education institutions. The contract period is set from 18th July 2022 to 31st March 2023, with a budget of £50,000 allocated for the 2022/2023 financial year. Interested parties should note that the communication for further notices is planned for 6th June 2022, and registration for interest is encouraged through the provided tender notice links. This tender presents significant opportunities for research agencies with expertise in education evaluation, particularly those experienced in the Further Education sector. Businesses specialising in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies will be well-suited to compete in this process. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may bring innovative approaches to the evaluation of educational interventions. The tender aims to gather insights that could influence further trials and national rollouts, thereby creating a substantial impact on teaching practices within the sector. ## Notice Centres for Excellence in Maths (CfEM) is seeking a research agency to evaluate the impact of scaled-up interventions in GCSE and Functional Skills resit classes in the Further Education sector in England. The project will run from July 2022 to February 2023. The research is required to inform further trials prior to any national roll out and to identify how interventions can work best across multiple FE settings. Findings from 3 or 4 Action Research projects that took place in the academic year 2021/22 will be shared and tried out across the CfEM network. The design of the evaluation is open to discussion. However, it should focus on (a) learners' progress on Level 2 exam-type questions and (b) wider causal factors linking the intervention to its impacts. Coordinators in each of the 21 CfEMs will assist with training and recruitment. Ideally, each of the 3 or 4 interventions will be done for four weeks in the Autumn term by approximately 30 teachers and approximately 1000-1500 learners. At this stage, we envisage a pre- and post-intervention assessment and questionnaire for learners and a post-intervention questionnaire for teachers, the content of which will be developed by ETF, working collaboratively with the appointed research agency. Research outputs will be a short written report and anonymized raw and tabulated data. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a3661d0b-6bb4-4de7-9150-2316f358f2bc | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 6 Jun 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Jul 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | 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 | Planned | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80300000 - Higher education services ## Release History - 27 May 2022 at 16:45 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a3661d0b-6bb4-4de7-9150-2316f358f2bc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a3661d0b-6bb4-4de7-9150-2316f358f2bc 27th May 2022 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY164492 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.
