## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation, based in London, has awarded a contract for the co-design and delivery of a training programme aimed at Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) within the education sector. The project falls under the Education and training services category and involves a total contract value of £499,505. The tender was published recently, with a contract period starting on 7th March 2017 and concluding on 30th March 2018. This procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the contract has already been awarded, indicating the procurement stage is now complete.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational training and development services, particularly those experienced in designing programmes tailored for senior finance management. Companies that provide innovative training solutions, mentoring, and collaborative working environments would be well-positioned to compete in similar future procurements. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this a particularly suitable sector to engage in, given the emphasis on collaborative and strategic development within educational institutions across the UK.

## Notice

A contract was awarded to an established provider of training and development for senior finance managers, with a national reputation for excellence. This contract was to co-design, develop and deliver a professional development programme for Directors of Finance (or Chief Financial Officers) in the education and training sector, supporting them to contribute more effectively to the strategic future of their organisation. Recommendations arising from the government initiated Area Review process included proposals for collaborative working between colleges, arrangements for Federations, type A and type B mergers. New appointments to the role, whether from the sector or from outside, need to understand the complexities of college structures, ambitions and relationships with stakeholders, partner organisations and statutory bodies if they are to ensure that the college has strong financial health, be resilient to shocks and sustainable in the future. A mix of residential, online resources, face to face, structured peer collaboration/review and mentoring form the basis of the programme, which has a degree of individualisation.
