This initiative falls under the advertising and marketing services sector and is focused on various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. The open procurement process is in the active phase, with bids due by 6th April 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1st August 2021 and will run until 31st July 2022. This service aims to engage schools with relevant apprenticeship resources as part of the ongoing Fire it Up campaign. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their offerings in educational support materials and marketing services. Companies familiar with creating engaging content for educational audiences, including posters, video case studies, and interactive resources, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Participation in this process could enhance visibility and help businesses establish partnerships within the education sector. ## Notice The ASK Programme, and the Services to be procured, continue to be key channels for the Fire it Up campaign, especially for activities aimed at young people and their influencers. Resources produced through this Service will carry key communication and messaging from the national campaign and will be adapted to make them more relevant for our schools' audience. Schools use these services as a reference to find out more about apprenticeships and employer vacancies. Although the face-to-face services are successful in engaging with schools and teachers, the website and online resources provide additional support for schools/colleges who wish to find out more about apprenticeships. Schools who may not have engaged with the ASK Programme will have seen, and had access to, the resources that have been and will be developed as part of this contract. Current arrangements have included: The development and updating of online resources, including:- 40 new posters (2 x poster packs of 20 posters each) for schools- 20 vlogs (video case studies) of Apprentice Ambassadors- Development of National Apprenticeship Week toolkit for ASK delivery providers- Apprenticeship Activity Pack for schools- Apprenticeship Activity Pack for FE colleges- Monthly resources for parents including practical steps to support their son/daughter to access an apprenticeship- Translation of parent resources into community languages- Apprenticeship Application Pack for use in ASK sessions in schools- Update and further develop the ASK central slide decks for use by ASK delivery partners in line with Apprenticeship branding- Fully develop and test the Key Stage 3 offer for 2019/20 working in partnership with schools, partners and stakeholders to create and communicate an offer to support students in years 7, 8 and 9.Examples of the resources can be found on the current website: https://amazingapprenticeships.com/ Amazing Apprenticeships Additional information: This opportunity is available on Jaggaer https://education.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html All correspondence and all bids must be submitted to this address. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9aead6ae-f5d0-4514-9b57-ce71ea28d863 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 6 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | 18 Feb 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2021 - 31 Jul 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79340000 - Advertising and marketing services ## Release History - 1 Mar 2021 at 13:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9aead6ae-f5d0-4514-9b57-ce71ea28d863 - 22 Feb 2021 at 16:39 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f486934e-3c40-4d63-826a-ae58bc07f607 - 17 Feb 2021 at 12:04 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f486934e-3c40-4d63-826a-ae58bc07f607 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9aead6ae-f5d0-4514-9b57-ce71ea28d863 1st March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f486934e-3c40-4d63-826a-ae58bc07f607 22nd February 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://amazingapprenticeships.com/ - https://education.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
