## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking suppliers for the "2021 Full Induction Programme cohort of the National Roll-Out of the Early Career Framework." This procurement is classified under education and training services, with a total contract value of £10,682,000. The contract period began on 1st October 2021 and will run until 31st August 2023, following a selective procurement method through a framework agreement. The tender period ended on 1st September 2021, and the additional procurement details indicate potential variations in contract values based on performance and recruitment milestones.

This opportunity may benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) focusing on education and training.

The increased contract values and the potential for uplift payments suggest that there is significant scope for growth for suppliers able to engage effectively in promoting the Early Career Framework.

## Notice

Variation to call-off contracts made via the Framework Agreement for the National Roll-Out of the Early Career Framework to deliver additional recruitment for the 2021 Cohort of the Full Induction Programme. For more details on the Early Career Framework please see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-career-framework-reforms-overview/early-career-framework-reforms-overview Additional information: The award value is based on the total potential additional value awarded under this call-off and the individual call-off contract values are dependent on performance against recruitment and retention milestones. The call-off contract payment model includes an additional uplift fee for participants recruited from schools with at least 40% of their pupils eligible for Pupil Premium or in Local Authority Districts identified as in the top 20% most sparse in terms of schools per hectare. The department reserves the right to increase the call-off contract values by up to 5% to incorporate any uplift payments in excess of the awarded value. The department increased the existing contract values via a contract variation option to increase call-off contract values up to an additional 50% to fund additional participants where targeted recruitment is required to address recruitment shortfalls/cold-spots or evolving demand.
