The project falls under the education and training services category, and the contracting period commenced on 18 February 2019 and concluded on 31 March 2019. The procurement method used was an open procedure above the threshold, with the tender period ending on 15 October 2018. The work involves collaboration with a Delivery Partner, who is tasked with operational management and support for the Centres. This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in educational services, particularly those specialising in training and resource development in mathematics. Companies with expertise in teaching methodologies, resources tailored for post-16 education, and experience in collaborative educational projects would be particularly well-suited to benefit from such contracts and contribute to the improvement of maths teaching nationwide. ## Notice DfE will work with a Delivery Partner to research, develop, evaluate and disseminate high quality basic maths teaching approaches and resources that focus on students aged 16+ with low prior maths attainment to be trialled and developed within the new Centres for Excellence. Whilst DfE has selected and will grant fund the Centres, they will be operationally managed by the Delivery Partner, who will be responsible for training, mentoring and supporting the Centres for Excellence to trial the approaches. The Delivery Partner will monitor and review the Centres for Excellence to establish and maintain exemplary standards of provision to meet both local and national maths priorities. The Delivery Partner will support the Centres for Excellence to network and disseminate the new or improved ways of teaching maths through post-16 maths networks. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1e8d2f9-4d05-460c-97f2-1427bfe75b8f | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Apr 2021 | | Submission deadline | 15 Oct 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Dec 2018 | | Contract period | 18 Feb 2019 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £4,734,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV1 2WT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG33 Coventry | | Local authority | Coventry | | Electoral ward | St Michael's | | Westminster constituency | Coventry South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOUNDATION (ETF | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 16 Apr 2021 at 07:56 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1e8d2f9-4d05-460c-97f2-1427bfe75b8f - 16 Apr 2021 at 07:51 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1e8d2f9-4d05-460c-97f2-1427bfe75b8f - 3 Oct 2019 at 08:59 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1e8d2f9-4d05-460c-97f2-1427bfe75b8f - 11 Apr 2019 at 12:23 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1e8d2f9-4d05-460c-97f2-1427bfe75b8f - 22 Mar 2019 at 15:50 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1e8d2f9-4d05-460c-97f2-1427bfe75b8f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d1e8d2f9-4d05-460c-97f2-1427bfe75b8f 16th April 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/381234eb-70b9-4a8c-b4a9-ff5573fdc763 Redacted Contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/91138831-71a3-4efe-a65f-5dbb422799b7 Redacted Contract ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
