This tender, classified under research services, seeks to provide an independent research and scoping report focused on redundancy-to-work programmes for the Department for Education (DfE). The tender period is open until 18th October 2021, with contract commencement expected on 8th November 2021, lasting until 31st March 2022. The services are required across various regions in the United Kingdom, including North East, London, and the South West, using an open procurement method. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in research and consultancy, particularly those specialising in market research, evaluation services, or educational consultancy. Companies with experience in supporting redundancy programmes or workforce transition initiatives will find this tender particularly relevant. Given the focus on assisting individuals at risk of redundancy, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in this procurement process. ## Notice The purpose of this tender is to secure the services of a tenderer to deliver an independent research and scoping report for Department for Education (DfE) focused on redundancy-to-work programmes. The successful tenderer will 1). identify programmes that support people who are at risk of redundancy, undergoing redundancy, or who have recently been made redundant to move into employment in other sectors 2). scope out whether the Talent to Teach model could be transferred to organisations where risk or redundancy/unemployment meant that highly skilled technical/vocational staff could be seeking alternative employment and benefit from a short placement/experience model in Further Education. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b678751-afb9-4037-90ef-3adf0e50b223 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 18 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Nov 2021 - 31 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOUNDATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 9SP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | Pimlico North | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79310000 - Market research services - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 29 Sep 2021 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b678751-afb9-4037-90ef-3adf0e50b223 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7b678751-afb9-4037-90ef-3adf0e50b223 29th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP162804 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.et-foundation.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
