The contract, valued at £3,500, falls under the education and training services category and is currently in the award stage. The training is intended to enhance inclusive practices within local schools, with the contracting authority expecting the provision to commence on 1st June 2018 and concluding by 31st October 2018. The tender period for bids ended on 25th April 2018, with key deadlines for clarification questions having also passed. This contract presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in education and training services. Providers with expertise in developing inclusive educational frameworks or those with a strong background in working alongside schools to foster supportive learning environments would be particularly well suited to compete for this contract. Given the focus on community engagement and the specific needs of disadvantaged youth, businesses that effectively demonstrate a commitment to social impact may have a competitive advantage in this tender. ## Notice Young people in Norwich from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely than their peers elsewhere in England to leave school with a good level of attainment, go on to study for a level 3 qualification (such as A levels), continue with education or employment from age nineteen, or go to university. Rates of exclusion are high in Norwich, leading to high numbers of pupils either being educated in alternative provision, or not being in school at all. There is limited understanding of precisely why exclusions are so high relative to the rest of England, however we know that most exclusions are for persistent disruptive behaviour. A "Norwich Inclusion Charter" has been developed in consultation with schools, local partners and the local authority. The Charter represents a shared commitment to collaborate to reduce exclusion in the city and will be supported by a range of interventions funded by the Opportunity Area. Inclusion Champion Governor Training is one of these interventions, to enable Governors to support their school in strengthening a culture of inclusion. Clarification questions should be sent to Annie Southgate annie.southgate@norfolk.gov.uk no later than 20th April Final bids should be submitted to Annie Southgate annie.southgate@norfolk.gov.uk no later than 2pm on 25th April.
