## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation has awarded a contract titled "An online programme to develop mentoring skills" as part of their initiative to enhance professional development in the further education sector. This project falls under the education and training services category and aims to create an online mentoring programme primarily for QTLS mentors. The contract, valued at £38,850, commenced on 5 December 2016 and concluded on 30 April 2017. The procurement process followed an open procedure, and tenders were invited until the deadline of 23 November 2016, aiming to involve organisations with expertise in developing educational content and online learning materials, particularly for further education settings across multiple UK regions.

This awarding presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in education technology, software development, and online learning solutions to engage in similar future contracts. Companies with a proven background in delivering educational services, particularly those focusing on adult education and training software, would be well-positioned to compete. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is designed to promote inclusivity and support innovation within the sector.

## Notice

A contract was awarded for a delivery partner to develop an online introduction to mentoring programme, primarily (but not exclusively) aimed at QTLS mentors (known as supporters) whose role was to support QTLS applicants through the process of professional formation. The online programme was integrated with and ran on the Foundation's Online Learning (https://www.foundationonline.org.uk/) portal that supports practitioners in improving their organisational performance and learning delivery, contributing to continued professional development. As a SET course it was not publically advertised and was only be open to SET members. Tenders were invited from organisations with a strong track record in developing content and online learning materials for practitioners working in further education (FE) settings.
