The tender aims to enhance career provision in Ashfield schools, focusing on embedding quality and sustainable careers programmes. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender period ending on 5th January 2024. The contract period is set to start on 15th February 2024 and end on 31st March 2025. This tender by the Nottinghamshire County Council presents an opportunity for businesses in the education and training services industry to support schools in Ashfield. Companies offering career guidance services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate due to the suitability criteria mentioned. Interested businesses should be prepared to deliver services within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. ## Notice Gatsby Benchmarking performance within Ashfield schools and colleges identifies that several secondary schools within the district requires extra support in embedding quality and sustainable careers provision (through a package of careers-related programmes, activities, and events) within their school curriculum. This is to ensure students / parents / teachers are aware of the local employment opportunities, what the growing sectors are, and what current & future skills are needed to move into long term sustainable employment within the Ashfield district. Embedding quality careers provision will also support improvement of other quality and performance metrics within schools, such as: attainment levels, OFSTED grading, Key Stage 4 / 5 destinations, and reducing the number of students that are at risk of becoming NEET (not in employment, education, or training) post-secondary education. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4bf4f1f3-36bd-4bdc-aa70-e6b64763de49 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Feb 2024 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000 | | 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 | NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAMSHIRE | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 7QP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF16 South Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Rushcliffe | | Electoral ward | Trent Bridge | | Westminster constituency | Rushcliffe | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79634000 - Career guidance services - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 11 Dec 2023 at 11:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4bf4f1f3-36bd-4bdc-aa70-e6b64763de49 - 7 Dec 2023 at 16:10 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/077e9272-91a2-4017-8772-98f502dd0b20 - 7 Dec 2023 at 10:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ec7c1bb-1fa6-4502-ba8d-4b452148223d - 7 Dec 2023 at 08:43 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/04a979a7-3719-4367-8713-c8f61bc6d755 - 6 Dec 2023 at 14:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b96d35ed-03a7-40a2-b602-f7375c1cd474 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4bf4f1f3-36bd-4bdc-aa70-e6b64763de49 11th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/077e9272-91a2-4017-8772-98f502dd0b20 7th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7ec7c1bb-1fa6-4502-ba8d-4b452148223d 7th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/04a979a7-3719-4367-8713-c8f61bc6d755 7th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b96d35ed-03a7-40a2-b602-f7375c1cd474 6th December 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=511058ae-5194-ee11-8125-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Link to portal advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
