This tender is classified under the CPV code for research and development services and related consultancy services and is currently in the planning stage. The procurement method is open, and the deadline for expressions of interest is set for 12pm on Monday, 30th July 2018. The contract is due to commence on 14th October 2018 and will run until 31st August 2022, with delivery addresses spanning the United Kingdom and beyond. This project presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in educational research and consultancy, particularly those with experience in programme evaluation and delivery within school settings. Suitable candidates may include small to medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that are adept at managing complex research projects and collaborating with various stakeholders such as schools and regulatory bodies. The evaluation seeks to understand the effectiveness of Hub models and their impact on teaching practices, thus requiring robust data collection and analysis capabilities from prospective bidders. ## Notice Expressions of interest are sought to conduct an overarching evaluation of three Department for Education (DfE) curriculum programmes: English Hubs, Modern Foreign Language (MFL) pedagogy Hubs, and a programme of work on computing, a key element of which is delivery via Hubs. This evaluation will help the Department to understand how well these programmes are working, and improvements that can be made both during the life of these programmes, and for potential future programmes using a similar approach. A key element of this is a National Centre and 'Hub' model, where Lead Schools deliver support to other 'Supported' Schools. Recognising that there are commonalities in the way the national centre and Hubs models will operate, and in the implementation timescales, the DfE invites Expressions of Interest to deliver a cost-effective evaluation across these programmes. The evaluation will focus on the implementation of the programmes, with key aims of: * Understanding how the national centre and Hub models are working and being implemented; * Monitoring how contractors deliver effective strategies for strengthening English, computing, and MFL; * Establishing whether the programmes have resulted in changes to teacher confidence, workload, and in classroom practice. Please note that the deadline for EOIs is 12pm, Monday 30th July 2018. Additional information: Please note that the deadline for EOIs is 12pm, Monday 30th July 2018. The word limit for EOIs is 1,000 words ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b681f16-7af4-466e-b280-3a4f47e2f709 | | 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 | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jul 2018 | | Future notice date | 24 Jun 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Oct 2018 - 31 Aug 2022 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | SW1P 0BT | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 18 Jul 2018 at 11:08 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b681f16-7af4-466e-b280-3a4f47e2f709 - 4 Jul 2018 at 09:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b681f16-7af4-466e-b280-3a4f47e2f709 - 4 Jul 2018 at 08:40 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c4aa031-c69a-4487-8561-0b471e4385dc - 7 Jun 2018 at 15:56 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c4aa031-c69a-4487-8561-0b471e4385dc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8b681f16-7af4-466e-b280-3a4f47e2f709 18th July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c4aa031-c69a-4487-8561-0b471e4385dc 4th July 2018 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fb9568c8-cb89-4988-9428-1edcbb919c3b Centre of Excellence for Literacy Teaching and English hubs - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ee82d03b-3d36-4363-8327-331262db91aa National Centre of Computing Education and associated training and support programmes for computing - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1b5f4322-8f0e-4d07-86ca-85954d8b75dd?p=@8=UFQxUlRRPT0=NjJNT0 Modern Foreign Languages Centre of Excellence - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f551047d-c954-439b-8625-d81c635efeb8 EOI Advert - DFERPPU 2018/027 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a1d176df-4b37-4b10-9202-95a625be716f New EOI form - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/87603495-cb3b-4128-bb23-8e35a3f2b28b EOI Advert - DFERPPU 2018/027 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/64ba9cbc-32e3-4a65-9ad1-bca2ba9949a8 New EOI Form ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
