## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation has completed a contract titled "More Pathways to FE", aimed at enhancing pathways for final year undergraduates considering careers in teaching within Further Education (FE). This initiative, classified under the education and training services industry, was executed under an open procurement method. The contract commenced on 2nd October 2017 and will conclude on 30th March 2018. Key delivery regions include the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, North West, and several others across the United Kingdom. The procurement is now complete, with a contract value of £29,650 awarded to AOSEC.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational services, particularly those focusing on higher education and adult training. Companies that can facilitate partnerships between educational institutions and undergraduates, or offer innovative approaches to encourage teaching careers, would be well-positioned to compete. With financial incentives and operational funding being key components of the initiative, organisations, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), may find suitable avenues for collaboration in promoting educational pathways.

## Notice

A contract was awarded for more pathways to Further Education. The Foundation sought to encourage final year undergraduates to consider a career in teaching in Further Education (FE). One approach to this was to get final year students to spend some time in colleges or Independent Training Providers (ITP), helping with the delivery. The Foundation requested partners arrange this by means of offering financial incentives to the students and operational funding to the colleges/Independent Training Providers. For partners working at a local level, we sought more than two geographically separate partners to ensure a degree of regional coverage.
