## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation is seeking proposals for its Governance Development Programme, an initiative aimed at enhancing educational support through the development of resources for governance professionals across various college environments. This open tender, classified under education and training services, was published on 31st May 2022, with a tender submission deadline set for 30th June 2022. The contracting period is expected to commence on 1st August 2022 and last until 31st March 2024, with an estimated contract value of £304,000, inviting submissions from both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on educational services and resource development. Companies that specialise in creating training materials, webinars, and innovative learning solutions tailored for governance in educational settings would be particularly well-suited to compete. The successful tenderer will have the chance to influence and develop sector-focused materials that not only align with current educational strategies but also promote research-led approaches within the industry, contributing to business growth and visibility in education-related sectors.

## Notice

Building on the current GDP programme, the ETF seeks to develop its support further, taking into account current teaching, learning and assessment approaches, research into effective learning and CPD. The successful tenderer will be expected to review existing materials (revising if necessary) before these same principles are applied to the design of the new modules, webinars/ podcasts and resources. All current GDP modules will be made available to the successful tenderer. Tenderers can view some existing module scripts and training schedules for their reference in Annex D part 1 and part 2. We would like tenderers to propose how they would design sector-focussed, learning resources that support governors and governance professionals across different college settings. We are open to new ideas around delivery, course content and pedagogical approaches and expect tenderers to submit responses that are both evidence and research-led.
