## Summary

The Department for Education has completed a tender titled "A Review of Teachers' and Leaders' Views on the Pay Framework," aiming to gather insights on the teacher pay framework and its implications for recruitment and retention. The procurement process was initiated under an open procedure (below threshold), with the contract period running from 17 May 2018 to 21 September 2018. The tender period ended on 30 April 2018, and the total contract value is £55,000. This research falls under the category of "Research and Development Consultancy Services," and it is available for delivery across various locations including the UK and surrounding territories.

This tender presents an opportunity for organisations specialising in educational consultancy, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community sectors (VCSEs). Businesses that focus on research methodologies, particularly those experienced in educational frameworks and stakeholder engagement, would find this tender highly beneficial. Engaging in such contracts allows companies to enhance their visibility and credibility within the educational sector while contributing to meaningful reforms in teacher remuneration policies.

## Notice

The keys aims are to identify and assess: (i) Teachers', leaders' and governors' views and understanding of the teacher pay framework, including the uses of Teaching and Learning Responsibility allowances (TLRs), the main pay range (MPR) and the upper pay range (UPR) in their own settings; and, (ii) Teachers', leaders' and governors' views on how the teacher pay framework can best provide a clearer career pathway for classroom teachers, support recruitment and retention within the profession and what adjustments may be required to meet these goals. This shall be achieved through: * a brief survey of teachers, with an achieved response from 750 teachers * 15 in-depth headteacher telephone interviews * 50 in-depth teacher telephone interviews * webinars with 16 governors.
