This procurement process falls under the education and training services category, specifically aimed at enhancing teacher training in the Further Education sector. The contract period commenced on 6th February 2017 and concluded on 31st July 2017. The open procurement method was employed, with a tender period that ended on 27th January 2017. A total of £275,753 was allocated for this initiative, which included four contracts awarded to various suppliers, including CETTAcademy and Sheffield Hallam University, among others. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in education and training services, particularly those focusing on teacher training and development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the training initiatives are designed to improve and standardise the quality of education delivery. Competitors in this space may leverage evidence-based methodologies to design innovative training approaches, directly contributing to the improvement of the UK’s post-16 workforce's capabilities. ## Notice 4 contracts were awarded to maintain and enhance the quality of initial teacher education (ITE) in the Further Education (FE) and training sector to meet the current and future demands of the nation's post-16 workforce. The Foundation wishes to support ITE wherever it is delivered, be it FE college, independent training provider, adult community learning or voluntary community sector organisation, in order to ensure the highest possible standards of teacher training via initial and continuous training for teacher trainers. We awarded 4 regional projects to trial approaches to the training of post-16 teacher trainers and to monitor and evaluate what works well in their training and development. Eventually we would like to see Professional Standards and, potentially, qualifications for teacher trainers that allow for the development of some national consistency and that are owned and valued by the target group of teachers. Each project runs across two financial years to allow for end to end evaluation of intention and impact. The Foundation sought plans for training and developing teacher trainers using evidence based methodologies where available, with the first cohorts started before March 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3f2920e-efd6-4ca0-b929-ef0dbeea7f65 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 27 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 6 Feb 2017 | | Contract period | 6 Feb 2017 - 31 Jul 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £275,753 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £69,438 | | 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 | EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOUNDATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 9SP | | 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 | Pimlico North | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 4 | | Supplier names | CETTACADEMY; CREATIVE EDUCATION; SHEFFIELD HALLAM UNIVERSITY; WEST MIDLANDS CENTRE FOR EXCELLENCE IN TEACHER TRAINING (WMCETT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 22 Nov 2017 at 17:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3f2920e-efd6-4ca0-b929-ef0dbeea7f65 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d3f2920e-efd6-4ca0-b929-ef0dbeea7f65 22nd November 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV148803 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.et-foundation.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
