This initiative aims to provide advisory services to individuals interested in entering or returning to the teaching profession in England. The anticipated procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a contract notice expected to be published in January 2017. The estimated value of the contract ranges between £8 million to £10 million, and key market engagement activities are set to conclude by 23rd February 2018, with service specifications continuously under development. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in customer service and contact centre operations, particularly those capable of offering tailored support and outreach. Companies with experience in education and training services, customer relationship management systems, and social media marketing strategies would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Interested suppliers are encouraged to participate in upcoming webinars to gather insights and refine their proposals, thereby enhancing their chances of success in this competitive procurement process. ## Notice The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) anticipates that in early 2017 it will look to commence a procurement exercise for delivery of an advisory service to people who are interested in becoming a teacher or in returning to the profession in England. The main purpose of the service is to convert people's initial interest in teaching into a successful application for Initial Teacher Training (ITT). We would expect the supplier to offer a service that provides: * An initial point of contact and advice * Tailored 1:1 support to eligible candidates in priority subject areas. * A flexible CRM programme to encourage and support people to apply for ITT * Support for Train to Teach events and social media activity to support targeted marketing campaigns * Reporting systems to evaluate customer experience and provide a range of management information * An accessible system for schools and candidates to arrange classroom experience This PIN is to instigate early market engagement. The purpose of the PIN is to provide the market with an overview of the type of services required and to advise that two webinars for suppliers will be held on Thursday 6 October and Wednesday 12 October 2016. This PIN is not a call for competition and a Contract Notice starting the contract award procedure is expected to be published on the OJEU in January 2017. NCTL welcomes engagement with a wide range of organisations to explore innovative ways of delivering our objectives to help inform the tender specification. The webinars will provide opportunities to discuss the business requirements and improve our thinking for any future tender opportunity. Please see further information below. Estimated value (exc VAT): PS8 million - PS10 million. See 'Attachments' for further information. Additional information: Update on activity: 22 February 2017. The tender specification for the Get into Teaching Information Service opportunity is still under development and NCTL intends to publish this opportunity by mid-March at the latest. It will be published on the OJEU and Contracts Finder, and tendered via the REDIMO2 system. Suppliers interested in participating in this procurement will need to ensure that they are fully registered on REDIMO2: https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login/?cid=DFE On publication, NCTL will invite interested suppliers to attend online events that will provide further details on both the commercial processes and the specified service requirements.
