This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an anticipated tender publication date in June 2021. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2021 and extend through to 30th September 2025. The estimated value of the contract is between £3,000,000 and £4,500,000, with a market engagement event planned for 18th May 2020, offering potential suppliers a chance to discuss the requirements and scope further. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses focused on talent acquisition and educational programme delivery, particularly those with expertise in attracting experienced professionals from diverse industries. Companies with capabilities to support career transitions into teaching, especially for subjects facing shortages, would find this tender well-suited to their offerings. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement is aligned with fostering inclusive engagement within the education sector. ## Notice All information included in this notice is indicative and subject to change. The Department is seeking a single supplier to design and deliver a career changers programme to attract and recruit experienced professionals with significant previous employment and industry experience into teaching, and support them to deliver added value in schools. The supplier will demonstrate how they can attract, recruit and support career changers to make a successful transition into teaching, deliver 'added value' from their previous careers and retain them once trained. We are seeking a supplier who can deliver a national programme to bring in those who would not normally have considered teaching, in the subjects where they are needed most.
