## Summary

The University of Derby is currently conducting a tender for the provision of Continuous Professional Development and Mentoring services to schools and sixth forms, aimed at supporting applications to higher education. This procurement falls under the Education and Training Services category, and the delivery locations will primarily be in the East Midlands, UK. The tender is in the active stage, with the tender period closing on 12 November 2018, and the contract period commencing from 20 November 2018 to 21 November 2018. This tender is part of the DANCOP programme, which focuses on fostering educational outreach and engagement.

This opportunity presents a valuable chance for businesses that specialise in educational services, particularly those offering training and development for educators. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the contract seeks to impact local learners directly. By engaging in this tender, businesses can strengthen their ties within the education sector, facilitate cultural changes in schools, and enhance their visibility while contributing to the essential goal of increasing higher education progression among students.

## Notice

DANCOP (Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Collaborative Outreach Programme) is funded by the OfS (Office for Students) to deliver targeted outreach programmes to and for learners from specific wards to encourage and support progression to Higher Education. This funding is received on an annual basis so a contract period longer than the initial period cannot be guaranteed. As part of this programme of activity, DANCOP understands the importance of affecting a cultural change within partner schools and colleges and as part of that wants to work with a provider to deliver an extensive programme of CPD (Continuous Professional Development) and support in up to 12 educational institutions to help teachers to support progression to higher education. Additionally, the provider is required to directly impact learners in order for the University to ensure it can report to the OfS on engagement with learners through this programme.
