## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation has awarded a contract for the "Graduate Development Programme," aimed at establishing a national framework to foster talent within the education sector. The contract, valued at £300,000, is classified under the category of "Education and training services" and is expected to address various regions across the United Kingdom, including London, the North West, and the South East. This procurement reached its conclusion with the award date on 1st October 2016, following an open procurement process that concluded its tender period on 1st August 2016.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in educational services, training, or consultancy. Businesses that offer innovative educational solutions, adult learning, or higher education services would be particularly well-positioned to compete in future tenders within this space, harnessing their expertise to contribute to the ongoing development of educational practitioners across the UK.

## Notice

The Education and Training Foundation has awarded a contract to develop and establish a national graduate development programme, designed to build a talent and development pipeline for the sector in the coming few years. This programme is expected to utilise higher level qualifications as a part of it, along with support more holistically for teaching practitioners to come together to share their own learning and experience, and be trained in core developments and learning from the latest and most effective practice, research, policy and leadership ideas in (and beyond) the sector.
