## Summary

The Department for Education (DfE) has completed the procurement process for the "STEM International Teacher Recruitment - 2019/20 Pilot". This initiative falls under the education and training services category and is intended to address challenges in recruiting teachers in specific subjects due to a strengthening economy and rising pupil numbers. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with the tender period concluding on 30 June 2019. The contract will run from 1 July 2019 to 31 July 2020, with the awarded contract valued at £57,835, and it includes delivery across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in international recruitment and teacher training services, particularly those adept in supporting acclimatisation and employment processes for foreign teachers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited for this tender, given the DfE's aim to recruit international teachers from Jamaica and South Africa. Companies with expertise in cross-cultural integration and educational staffing could leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and reach within the education sector.

## Notice

The Department for Education (DfE) supports schools in training and recruiting the teachers needed to deliver educational excellence. It recognises that the strengthening economy and growth in pupil numbers make the situation more challenging and that this is more acute in certain subjects (such as maths, physics and modern foreign languages in secondary schools or areas of the country. The DfE is looking to test the recruitment of international teachers from Jamaica and South Africa, and in computer science, to test the viability of recruitment from new markets and fill gaps within the domestic supply pipeline. The supplier will be required to deliver the following: * Collaborate with acclimatisation provider throughout delivery * Recruit, interview, place and support international teachers * Support schools through contract and employment setup * Support teachers post commencement of employment
