## Summary

The Department for Education in England recently completed a procurement process for the "High Potential Initial Teacher Training Programme". This initiative aims to recruit high-quality graduates and career changers to become skilled teachers and leaders, particularly in underserved primary and secondary schools. The contract, valued at approximately £94.64 million, was awarded through an open procurement method and involved a tendering period that ended on 25 January 2016, with a contract duration from 13 July 2016 to 31 October 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the education and training sector, especially those that focus on teacher training, development, and education services. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on inclusive practices in the recruitment of teaching professionals. Engaging in such programmes can open doors for scaling operations and contributing to educational improvements in disadvantaged areas.

## Notice

Recruit high quality graduates and career changers who have the potential to be highly skilled teachers and leaders and who would otherwise be unlikely to join the profession. Train them to be highly skilled teachers and emerging leaders in primary and secondary schools with low attaining pupils and/or high numbers of disadvantaged pupils. The places will be in England. Some places will be in Early Years settings.
