This initiative falls under the education and training services category, aiming to fund up to two providers to organise at least 20 roadshows across England. Key engagement activities include a supplier event scheduled for 27 February 2018, with the engagement phase having concluded on 2 April 2018. All communications regarding the tender will be conducted electronically, with no hard copies being issued. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in education and training, particularly those that specialise in phonics instruction or educational events. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to participate, as the Department for Education is keen to explore the market's capacity to deliver the programme. The event also serves as a platform for networking and fostering potential collaborations among interested parties. ## Notice On 25 May, the Department for Education (DfE) launched a procurement exercise to fund up to two providers to plan and run at least 20 Phonics Roadshows across two Lots, one in the north, and one covering the rest of England. The DfE wants to build on the successes achieved by the phonics roadshows funded to date. The purpose of these roadshows, and those that have already taken place, is to promote effective practice in the teaching of systematic synthetic phonics. This new procurement brings reception year into scope, as well as key stage 1, and the transition between these phases. The Invitation to tender letter is here - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2801272d-ce55-4190-baa5-eb6428ca0e11 The DfE will administer the procurement process electronically via email. No hard copy documents will be issued; all communications with DfE (including final tender submission) will be conducted via email. See 'Attachments' for full update. See 'Attachments' for description and further information. Additional information: A supplier event is planned for 27 February 2018 between 1000-1300 at: Department for Education Sanctuary Buildings Great Smith Street London SW1P 3BT This event will enable organisations to gain a better understanding of the DfE's requirements. We will explore the capacity of the market to deliver this programme, and take on board any suggestions from the sector about how the services should be delivered. This will also provide an opportunity for networking and possible consortia discussions. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dece3f-2b98-4f50-adc3-4c3dfb2c405e | | 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 | 25 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 2 Apr 2018 | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 25 May 2018 at 14:06 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dece3f-2b98-4f50-adc3-4c3dfb2c405e - 14 Feb 2018 at 09:31 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dece3f-2b98-4f50-adc3-4c3dfb2c405e - 19 Jan 2018 at 17:13 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dece3f-2b98-4f50-adc3-4c3dfb2c405e - 5 Dec 2017 at 18:14 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dece3f-2b98-4f50-adc3-4c3dfb2c405e - 30 Nov 2017 at 17:36 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dece3f-2b98-4f50-adc3-4c3dfb2c405e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/29dece3f-2b98-4f50-adc3-4c3dfb2c405e 25th May 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b521f66e-2ba0-4eca-83f4-7c42353fea54 Description and further information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5ee01c6d-bfa0-40f7-8549-b96421006ad8 Description and further information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5c7fd3ba-0ec6-48b9-a085-b42b5815ccdb Description and further information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7476f9a9-2cab-43ff-81d8-2a27669c4c70 Description and further information - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/618f0585-c971-471f-a5b6-b17440e78755 Updated Information 25th May 2018 ## Notice URLs - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2801272d-ce55-4190-baa5-eb6428ca0e11 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
