This open tender falls under the industry category of education and training services, specifically targeting the Central area, which includes the West Midlands, East Midlands, and Eastern FE regions. The tender period ended on 18 April 2019, with a total contract value of £144,900, and the successful provider will be expected to operate from 26 April 2019 to 31 March 2020. This opportunity allows businesses in education services, particularly those specialising in vocational training, career guidance, and recruitment services, to engage with FE providers. Companies capable of organising mentored placements and offering financial incentives to students are well-positioned to compete in this tender. The contracts awarded are likely to benefit small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can demonstrate effective collaboration and practice sharing across the regions involved. ## Notice The ETF seeks to encourage final year undergraduates and post graduates to consider a career in teaching in FE. One approach to this is to get such students to spend some time in FE providers (colleges or independent Training Providers (ITPs)), helping with the delivery. The ETF is seeking a tenderer to organise mentored placements with FE sector providers and facilitating this by offering financial incentives to the students and operational funding to the colleges/ITPs. The successfully appointed tenderer will research and compile a list of local vacancies including part time teaching vacancies which will be made available to participants. We are seeking to award three contracts in separate regions for this work across England. The successfully appointed tenderer will be expected to work across one of the following English FE areas: North, Central and South: This ITT is for the Central area including the West Midlands, East Midlands and Eastern FE regions. Separate ITTs have been published for the North and South regions. The successfully appointed tenderers for each region will be expected to work together to share good practice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a6066d4-9412-44bc-b298-ffeb3c77f590 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 18 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Apr 2019 | | Contract period | 25 Apr 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £144,900 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £144,900 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | COGNITION EDUCATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79600000 - Recruitment services - 79634000 - Career guidance services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80210000 - Technical and vocational secondary education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 5 Nov 2019 at 17:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a6066d4-9412-44bc-b298-ffeb3c77f590 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3a6066d4-9412-44bc-b298-ffeb3c77f590 5th November 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV158587 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.
