This open procurement process, which falls under the category of education and training services, is set to accept submissions until 8th November 2021. Successful bidders will have the opportunity to receive funding of £6,800 each for up to five projects, with the contract period commencing on 30th November 2021 and concluding by 31st March 2022. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses and organisations that specialise in education and training services, particularly those with experience in developing inclusive practices and training initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the projects aim to foster diversity in leadership within the education sector, providing a platform for innovative solutions and strategies that can impact a wide range of learners. ## Notice Following the success of the first round of match funded EDI projects, the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) will match-fund an additional 5 projects, at 6,800 GBP each, to explore and address specific Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) issues in FE providers. This area of activity, along with other programmes and initiatives, aims to support a pipeline of managers and leaders in FE that represent the diversity of learners in the sector. Learning from these projects will be disseminated to the wider sector and inform ETF's future diversity activity, including a pilot activity this year, in which senior leaders and governors will be brought together to develop an organisational diversity strategy. Providers interested in this opportunity should submit a response by the deadline stated. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7b55748-3ffa-4326-b4be-277cb331949b | | 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 | 25 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 8 Nov 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Nov 2021 - 31 Mar 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 | THE 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79632000 - Personnel-training services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80211000 - Technical secondary education services - 80212000 - Vocational secondary education services - 80340000 - Special education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80430000 - Adult-education services at university level - 80490000 - Operation of an educational centre - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80521000 - Training programme services - 80530000 - Vocational training services - 80531200 - Technical training services - 80532000 - Management training services - 80570000 - Personal development training services ## Release History - 25 Oct 2021 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7b55748-3ffa-4326-b4be-277cb331949b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7b55748-3ffa-4326-b4be-277cb331949b 25th October 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT162991 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.
