This project focuses on the education and training services industry and is located throughout various regions in the United Kingdom. The tender, which follows an open procurement method, is currently in the planning stage, with a submission deadline set for 11th September 2017. The contract period will commence on 20th September 2017 and will span until 30th March 2018. The total contract value is £130,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in educational training services. Entities that can develop training materials and delivery practices conducive to improving the teaching of Functional Skills across diverse contexts will be well-positioned to compete in this tender. With a focus on creating new teaching resources, potential bidders should have experience in curriculum development, training facilitation, and a solid understanding of the educational needs within the sector. ## Notice As part of the Functional Skills Reform Programme, the Foundation commissioned a set of new materials to support the current revised draft subject content. This subject content will form part of a further consultation in the autumn 2017 and we expect it to be finalised in early January 2018. In the meantime, these new materials have potential to support delivery of the current Functional Skills at all levels. We are looking for a delivery partner to develop training to use these materials to improve practice and roll this training out across the sector, adapting to different contexts for learning. This training should complement the current maths and English Pipeline, and link to the Foundation's online modules to support personal skills. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/227ccafc-4a19-45b1-8884-273b63242fc4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Aug 2017 | | Submission deadline | 11 Sep 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Sep 2017 - 30 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £130,000 | | 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 | 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 18 Aug 2017 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/227ccafc-4a19-45b1-8884-273b63242fc4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/227ccafc-4a19-45b1-8884-273b63242fc4 18th August 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG146290 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.
