This initiative falls under the education and training services category, encompassing several regions within the United Kingdom including the North East, North West, and London. The process is currently in the planning stage, with key dates such as the engagement end date on 23rd January 2025, and a supplier engagement webinar scheduled on the same day at 14:00 via Microsoft Teams. This market engagement follows a previous webinar held on 15th October 2024, aiming to understand market interest and capacity in delivering continuing professional development (CPD) for the 16-19 Level 2 and below cohort. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the education and training sectors, particularly those specialising in innovative CPD solutions for English and Maths teachers, as well as organisational support in the further education sector. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate, providing an excellent growth avenue through potential national or regional contract awards. Engaging in this process allows businesses to showcase their capability to support educational excellence and collaborate with the Department for Education in shaping future competitive tenders, pending funding availability. ## Notice Following on from a market engagement webinar held on 15th October 2024 and subsequent feedback received from that event, the Department for Education is seeking further feedback from the market so it can understand market interest and capacity to deliver CPD to the 16-19 Level 2 and below English and maths Workforce in Further Education settings, on a national or regional basis, before defining its next steps for any competitive process. This is not a call for competition and does not commit us to launching a competition or running a competition in specific ways, and any future opportunities are subject to funding availability. The quality of the English and Maths workforce across the FE sector is paramount, and the Department continues to work with the sector to ensure that providers can recruit, retain, and develop the teaching and governance staff they need to deliver the best possible education to students. The purpose of engaging the market at this time is to: - Understand market interest and capacity in delivering 16-19 Level 2 and below English and/or Maths CPD to the workforce (including via innovative provision to achieve the best outcomes for learners who are studying under the condition of funding); - Understand the market interest and capacity in delivering workforce support in the context of English and/or Maths in the wider organisation, including to English, maths & college leadership; - Receive feedback from the market on the capacity to ensure national coverage. DfE is holding an early supplier engagement webinar via Microsoft Teams at 14:00 on 23rd January 2025 which will run for approximately 45 minutes. If your organisation is interested in attending the webinar, please express an interest via SSQ_541 in Project_8440 by 14:00 20th January 2025. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4018282f-b6b8-4f0b-9a85-3bb7a7a5033b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jan 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Jan 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | 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 | St James's | | 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 ## Release History - 10 Jan 2025 at 12:15 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4018282f-b6b8-4f0b-9a85-3bb7a7a5033b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4018282f-b6b8-4f0b-9a85-3bb7a7a5033b 10th January 2025 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
