## Summary

The Department for Education (DfE) is conducting a procurement process for the provision of Governance Leadership Development and/or Clerking Development across the eight Regional School Commissioner regions in England. This initiative aims to enhance the effectiveness of governing boards at state-funded institutions, including maintained schools, academies, and alternative provisions, with a focus on leadership roles and clerking support. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 22 September 2017. The contracts were set to commence on 6 November 2017 and run until 29 March 2019, with potential extensions based on performance and available funding. The total estimated value for this project is up to £2.4 million, with possible additional funding of £1.45 million into the following years, depending on the contract renewals and budget availability.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies specialising in education and training services, particularly those experienced in governance and clerking support, will be well-positioned to compete. The contracts will not only provide substantial financial backing but also the chance to contribute positively to the educational landscape in England by enhancing the capabilities of local governing bodies. Interested bidders are encouraged to register on the DfE e-procurement platform, REDIMO2, to access further details and documentation to prepare their proposals.
