This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with engagement activities concluding on 5th March 2021. The networking events will take place online on 4th and 5th March 2021, providing an opportunity for interested organisations to interact with newly appointed lead providers and discuss potential collaboration as delivery partners. The procurement has been classified under the Education and training services category. This initiative creates significant opportunities for organisations looking to expand their presence in the education sector, particularly those specialised in teacher training and educational mentoring services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to benefit from participating in these networking events. Attendance is encouraged for those interested in subcontracting with lead providers, as it may lead to valuable partnerships and improved service offerings within the ECF framework. ## Notice The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to notify interested parties of the forthcoming Early Career Framework (ECF) National Roll-out Provider Networking Events. The Department for Education (DfE) intends to award lead providers to a Framework Agreement for the delivery of the National Roll-out of the ECF in February 2021. To support the development of supply chains in order to deliver the ECF, the department is facilitating two online events on 4th and 5th of March 2021 respectively. The objective of these events is to allow the newly appointed ECF lead providers the opportunity to set out, to potential delivery partners, their training programmes for early career teachers and mentors including how delivery partners could work with lead providers to deliver the National Roll-out of the ECF. Any organisation interested in the opportunity to work as a delivery partner (subcontractor) for one of the ECF lead providers is encouraged to attend. For more information, please see the document in the Attachments section below. Additional information: Please note: this notice is for expressions of interest from organisations interested in working as a delivery partner (subcontractor) for one of the awarded ECF lead providers. The procurement for the lead providers has now closed. DfE is facilitating the networking events only and will not be brokering relationships between parties or providing support to agree the terms of any individual relationships. It is the responsibility of the parties to progress any relationships and attendance at the event alone is not a guarantee of work. This notice is for information only and is intended to be indicative. Therefore, all information presented here is subject to change. Accordingly, DfE will not be liable for any cost, expenditure, work or effort incurred by any party acting on the basis of this PIN. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83ab14fd-91ab-47d6-ac50-598b8fff4c9a | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Feb 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 5 Mar 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 15 Feb 2021 at 15:38 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83ab14fd-91ab-47d6-ac50-598b8fff4c9a - 12 Feb 2021 at 13:27 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83ab14fd-91ab-47d6-ac50-598b8fff4c9a - 12 Feb 2021 at 13:20 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83ab14fd-91ab-47d6-ac50-598b8fff4c9a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/83ab14fd-91ab-47d6-ac50-598b8fff4c9a 15th February 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8f76ffbc-13af-4392-a75f-db790c432a0f Please see the attached document for more information. - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/early-career-framework-national-roll-out-provider-networking-event-tickets-141280123653?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch Eventbrite link for 4th March 2021 - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/early-career-framework-national-roll-out-provider-networking-event-tickets-141281555937?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch Eventbrite link for 5th March 2021 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
