## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation is the contracting authority for the ETF Practitioner Research Programme 2018 - 2020, which falls under the education and training services industry category. The procurement, executed using an open procedure, involved a contract awarded to the University of Sunderland for a total value of £520,000. The contract period spans from 1st June 2018 to 30th September 2020, with an initial tender period that closed on 7th March 2018. This project was initiated to expand significant educational research and is based across various regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, London, and South East.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the education and research sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in educational methodologies, program implementation, or training services could greatly benefit from this existing framework, leveraging their expertise to engage in future related contracts and contribute to the ongoing initiatives supported by the Education and Training Foundation.

## Notice

A contract was awarded to an education and research organisation to continue this important strand of our work.The current activity of the MA and MPhil form the most comprehensive blueprint for the work being delivered. Proposals that sought to evolve and expand this work were welcomed. Because of the long term nature of this work and the length of the programme, the contract was initially awarded for two years, (June 2018 - July 2020) with an option to extend for up to three further academic cycles to July 2023 (subject to available funding).
