The total budget allocated for this project is £40,000, and the contract is expected to start on 31 March 2020 and run until 30 September 2020. The tender uses an open procurement method, allowing all interested parties to submit proposals. This opportunity presents a significant avenue for businesses that specialise in educational training services, particularly those focused on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Companies experienced in developing curriculum resources, teacher training, or digital educational content creation would be well-positioned to compete. The emphasis on creating sensitive and effective training modules also suggests that firms with expertise in safeguarding and mental health education will have a distinct advantage in this tender. ## Notice SEND Experts to create training modules for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) The SEND Expert (Contractor) shall work with a team of digital content developers and user researchers commissioned by the DfE to create training modules. These training modules will be aimed at equipping teachers to effectively teach the RSHE curriculum to pupils with SEND in special schools. This includes enabling teachers to teach about the key knowledge and facts about the subjects. The purpose of the SEND experts review is to provide children and young people with the knowledge to lead safe, healthy and happy lives. Some of the statutory content will need to be handled with particular care and sensitivity, for example on safeguarding and mental health, and the Authority is committed to supporting high quality teaching. As part of this commitment, the Authority wants to provide teachers with a single point of access to online training modules that are aligned to the areas that teachers have told us, through research that they find most challenging. These training modules will be published alongside other support materials for schools such as the implementation guide, case studies and quality assured resources. The topics below have been identified by teachers as areas they find most challenging to teach and therefore require training. There may be other areas that schools identify as a training need when we begin to test the modules with a wider pool of schools during development. The Contractor shall work with the Authority's digital content developer to design the training modules as set out in the specification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d4d91171-fcdf-4bfc-9d98-f2fc5eba59e8 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Mar 2020 | | Submission deadline | 27 Mar 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Mar 2020 - 30 Sep 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 26 Mar 2020 at 11:15 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d4d91171-fcdf-4bfc-9d98-f2fc5eba59e8 - 23 Mar 2020 at 11:01 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d4d91171-fcdf-4bfc-9d98-f2fc5eba59e8 - 18 Mar 2020 at 12:54 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d4d91171-fcdf-4bfc-9d98-f2fc5eba59e8 - 25 Feb 2020 at 15:56 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d4d91171-fcdf-4bfc-9d98-f2fc5eba59e8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d4d91171-fcdf-4bfc-9d98-f2fc5eba59e8 26th March 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9808b155-e58c-403d-874e-ed75e9fa51e7 Daily Rate Template - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e3e0df40-dbd5-4e36-be8a-bc916ffd4137 RSHE SEND Expert Contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/420f2a66-f50f-4fa8-9336-44c0df98a3ca RSHE SEND Expert Evaluation Criteria - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b1bf7dbb-f75c-493b-94ff-f58a8fe28200 RSHE SEND Expert Proposal - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1556f786-0556-48eb-b7b5-683ff13351f1 RSHE SEND Expert Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9f294693-b266-4cb1-802e-2fab513bdeae RSHE SEND Expert Evaluation Criteria - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a45af47c-7e3a-4c64-af21-8db9b98e40b1 RSHE SEND Expert Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a7b64556-6d0b-4366-8fd8-a2670241e678 RSHE SEND Expert Evaluation Criteria - updated - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a41b814e-8cee-4936-92ac-e089ecdf9253 RSHE SEND Expert Clarifications ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
