The National Centre for Computing Education is seeking tenders from interested parties to increase the level of engagements with schools, colleges and teachers in England from the period 11 November 2019 to 31 August 2020. 1. Proposals should be submitted no later than 16:00 on Monday 4 November 2019. 2. Proposals must be submitted in line with the process and timescales set out in the relevant sections below. Background The vision of the NCCE is for every child in every school in England to have a world-leading computing education. The NCCE and its associated programmes has two central drivers: * to generate pupil interest and demand for computer science qualifications in the future and; * to upskill teachers to be more confident in their delivery of Computing. The Consortium of STEM Learning, BCS, The Chartered Institute of IT, and the Raspberry Pi Foundation have been leading this work drawing on wide experience of delivering outstanding CPD and support for teachers at scale, a track record for high quality learning content, deep subject knowledge, and unrivalled networks. We have started to put this in place by: * Establishing the National Centre for Computing Education as a virtual institution to provide leadership, expertise, evidence-based interventions; free, quality-assured curriculum-linked resources; and online CPD. * Creating a Network of Computing Hubs to lead the delivery of computing CPD in local areas, at no-cost to priority schools and low-cost to all schools. The ambition is to provide face to face CPD for over 21,000 teachers, free online CPD for over 25,000 with the focus on priority schools and to provide over 500 hours of free resources. * Establishing the Computer Science Accelerator (CSA) Programme to provide free high quality professional development to upskill and certify 8,000 teachers with CPD to support their teaching and delivery of the Computer Science GCSE programme. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d2e5c92-2b75-4b9d-b81c-b2a7bf2b7ba3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 4 Nov 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 11 Nov 2019 - 31 Aug 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL STEM LEARNING CENTRE | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO10 5DD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE21 York | | Local authority | York | | Electoral ward | Hull Road | | Westminster constituency | York Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 23 Oct 2019 at 07:44 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d2e5c92-2b75-4b9d-b81c-b2a7bf2b7ba3 - 22 Oct 2019 at 15:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d2e5c92-2b75-4b9d-b81c-b2a7bf2b7ba3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0d2e5c92-2b75-4b9d-b81c-b2a7bf2b7ba3 23rd October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/86fc76fe-1219-48d3-82a1-f1cb1fab135a NCCE - Invitation to Tender - October 2019 ## Notice URLs - https://www.stem.org.uk/opportunities-tender ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
