This procurement process, currently at the tender stage, will be closing on 3rd March 2017. The contract, valued at £70,000, is expected to commence on 7th March 2017 and conclude by 31st May 2017. Services are sought across various regions including London, the North West, and the South East, targeting the improvement of leadership in maths and English pedagogy. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those focused on professional development and management training in the academic sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) that can provide innovative continuous professional development (CPD) solutions for educators are well-positioned to compete for this contract. The emphasis on driving improvement in educational standards signals a demand for expertise that can effectively enhance teaching management in further education settings. ## Notice The Foundation aims to drive up standards in maths and English for all learners. This is in line with Ofsted's focus on the importance of consistently good or better teaching, learning and assessment, and current government policy to drive up standards in maths and English. At the heart of effective practice in these subjects is strong and effective leadership. This tender continues our existing work to support leadership and management, specifically building on and complementing our residential programme for leaders and managers responsible for maths and English. Research is clear that there is not a standardised approach to the way in which maths and English is delivered in FE, and due to the diverse nature of organisations in the sector we are not seeking to remedy this. Instead we need to promote better, more rigorous and useful ways to manage the progress of young people studying these subjects, learning from secondary schools where appropriate. Aligned to the research, Ofsted inspections of FE providers, are still, in too many cases citing problems with the leadership and management and outcomes for learners for maths and English. Combining the importance of maths and English to young people and their aspirations, the continued strong focus of these subjects at inspection and the clearer accountability measures introduced in 2016, support for managers leading the subjects is integral to sector wide improvement. This tender will develop continuous professional development (CPD) opportunities for managers that focus on improving the management of learner progress in maths and English. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9aa9d3d4-f290-4f20-ac30-b2232dd9d720 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Feb 2017 | | Submission deadline | 3 Mar 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Mar 2017 - 31 May 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £70,000 | | 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 | 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 - 48 - Software package and information systems - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 48190000 - Educational software package - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 16 Feb 2017 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9aa9d3d4-f290-4f20-ac30-b2232dd9d720 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9aa9d3d4-f290-4f20-ac30-b2232dd9d720 16th February 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB138770 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.
