## Summary

The Department for Education has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "Teaching Vacancies Marketing (PR procurement)", aimed at enhancing the awareness of Teaching Vacancies among teachers, schools, and stakeholders. The procurement falls under the public relations services category and was executed using an open procedure method, which allows for widespread participation. The tender, with a contract value of £105,000, was open until February 7, 2020, while the contract period spans from October 15, 2020, to March 31, 2022, taking place in locations including the United Kingdom and other territories.

This opportunity is ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in public relations. By participating in this contract, businesses can leverage their expertise to contribute to a significant public sector initiative, potentially increasing their visibility and experience in the education sector. Additionally, this project offers a unique chance for innovative PR agencies to showcase their capabilities in driving awareness and influencing behaviour, potentially leading to future contracts and collaborations.

## Notice

The aim of this Statement of Work is to engage a PR agency who will build on the solid foundation we have established over the last twelve months, and make a significant step change to further improve unprompted awareness of Teaching Vacancies with teachers, schools and stakeholders to create the behaviour change we are seeking: teachers to look for jobs on TV and schools to post on TV.
