This process is currently in the planning stage, with a key engagement deadline set for 11 April 2019. Interested parties are invited to a supplier webinar on 12 April 2019, which will provide insight into the project’s objectives and requirements. The training initiative aims to develop and prototype online learning for users of the scheme, with potential delivery throughout the United Kingdom and other territories. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education technology and online learning solutions, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that can provide insightful feedback and demonstrate innovative approaches in online training and service delivery would be well-positioned to compete effectively. By engaging with the Department for Education, suppliers can better align their offerings with government needs and potentially secure a valuable contract within the education sector. ## Notice See Attachments for full description. The Department for Education is considering undertaking a procurement exercise to find a supplier(s) to implement an Alpha project for online training that will form part of the National Retraining Scheme. This would mean working with DfE to build, test and iterate a prototype(s) of online learning and the related service for the Scheme's users. DfE wishes to invite potential service providers to an early market engagement Webinar. We wish to learn from potential service providers and explore market potential, appetite and best practice. At the event the Department will outline its aims and objectives for online training. Additional information: A supplier event is planned on Friday 12th April 2019 between 10:45 and 13:00 via Webinar. This event will enable organisations to gain a better understanding of DfE's potential requirements and allow DfE to take on board feedback from potential suppliers about the scope of the potential opportunity. The event will include; an information session setting out the potential procurement; and a Question and Answer session.
