The initiative is categorised under education and training services and is set to run in up to seven regions, covering six Regional Schools Commissioners (RSC) areas. Key dates include the engagement end date, which was 5 April 2019, and the most recent publication date of relevant notices on 24 May 2019. Interested providers are encouraged to review the details provided in early market engagement events and associated documents. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational services, particularly those specialising in teacher recruitment, training, and support services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate, as the pilot focuses on using high-performing schools to provide improvement strategies for local schools at risk of failure. Businesses that can deliver innovative educational solutions and expert support may find this procurement an excellent avenue for growth. ## Notice ***New on 24th May 2019 - Today, we have launched the Teaching School Hubs test and learn phase. Please review open opportunities or see 'Links' for a hyperlink to the advert*** ***New on 9th April - Thank you to those of you who attended the early engagement events and for sharing feedback on our proposals. We are reviewing this feedback and further information will be published on Contracts Finder in due course.*** Teaching Schools have been a successful initiative, which DfE has sponsored since 2011. The Department recognises that larger collaborations of Teaching School Alliances and MATs have developed to cover wider areas than a traditional alliance. The Department is considering piloting a new approach to grant-aid high-performing schools in a limited number of areas to provide improvement services to a wider range of local schools in effective school-to-school support, for those at risk of failure, and showcasing and spreading best practice, as trailed in the recruitment and retention of teachers (see link to Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy). In addition to delivering its own provision, it will be expected to broker or signpost schools to additional sources of expert support, recognised by DfE, within and outside its area. We anticipate that the pilot will run in up to 7 areas of the country, covering 6 RSC regions. Additional information: The Department for Education would like to invite providers to attend an early engagement event / market warming event on 6 or 7 March (exact times to be confirmed). The events will be via Skype, dial in details will be provided nearer the time. In order to attend any of the events, you will need to register - see Early Market Engagement Events link. Please note spaces are limited (250 per session) and due to this only 1 attendee per school can register. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e3d7129-d72d-4a94-817e-5e7cf18cb3a2 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 5 Apr 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | 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 - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 24 May 2019 at 12:22 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e3d7129-d72d-4a94-817e-5e7cf18cb3a2 - 24 May 2019 at 12:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e3d7129-d72d-4a94-817e-5e7cf18cb3a2 - 24 May 2019 at 12:01 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e3d7129-d72d-4a94-817e-5e7cf18cb3a2 - 9 Apr 2019 at 08:51 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e3d7129-d72d-4a94-817e-5e7cf18cb3a2 - 20 Mar 2019 at 11:21 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e3d7129-d72d-4a94-817e-5e7cf18cb3a2 - 20 Mar 2019 at 09:23 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e3d7129-d72d-4a94-817e-5e7cf18cb3a2 - 14 Feb 2019 at 12:20 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e3d7129-d72d-4a94-817e-5e7cf18cb3a2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e3d7129-d72d-4a94-817e-5e7cf18cb3a2 24th May 2019 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teacher-recruitment-and-retention-strategy/teacher-recruitment-and-retention-strategy Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy - https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/TSHubs/ Early Market Engagement Events - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/98dde964-ac94-410c-8254-1cd573c2dc45 Teching School Hubs advert ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
