This project falls under the business services industry category, specifically within the realm of consulting and recruitment. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 10 May 2022. The total value of the contract amounts to £750,000, and the contract period is scheduled to commence on 13 June 2022, running until 31 March 2024. The procurement method is characterised as a recruitment campaign. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in consultancy and training services geared towards educational reform. Enterprises that can demonstrate expertise in teacher training and possess the ability to enhance the quality of initial teacher training would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, fostering a diverse and competitive bidding environment. ## Notice The ITT Reform Programme aims to ensure that there are enough, well-prepared, well trained, and confident newly qualified teachers in the system. Central to this is ensuring that initial teacher training (ITT) is of the highest possible quality. The ITT Reform Programme is at the forefront of delivering significant reforms to raise the standard of ITT provision in England and plays a key role in managing standards through regulatory measures. A new and flexible pool of ITT Market Quality Associates is required to help support the ITT market as we progress through this re-shaping of the ITT market. Associates will play a key role in delivering DfE's ITT policy ambition, providing expertise and assurance that the new ITT market has high-quality design, content, and delivery in line with the ITT Core Content Framework and new quality requirements. They will also support the anticipated closure of a number of providers, ensuring smooth market exit and transfer of trainees to other providers.
