This open tender process offers two contractual opportunities: Lot A focuses on delivering services in the north of England, while Lot B covers the rest of England. Each contract is valued at £50,000, contributing to a total budget of £100,000. The deadline for tender submissions is set for 12:00 midday on 22 June 2018, with contracts expected to commence on 1 September 2018 and conclude by the end of March 2019. This procurement presents significant opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in educational services, particularly those focused on teacher training and phonics instruction. Providers with a proven track record in promoting effective teaching methods in the early years will find this tender particularly appealing. The requirement to conduct a minimum of 20 workshops for at least 800 educators highlights the potential for significant engagement and visibility within the educational sector, allowing successful bidders to enhance their market presence and further their business objectives. ## Notice The purpose of this procurement is to Tender for up to two organisations to work with the Department to design, organise and deliver at least 20 local Phonics Roadshows before 31 March 2019. There are two contracts ("Lot A" and "Lot B") available, each to deliver at least 10 local Roadshows to a minimum of 400 teachers. * The contract for Lot A will be to deliver these Roadshows in the north of England (a list of local authority areas in the north of England can be found in attachment 6). * The contract for Lot B will cover the rest of England outside of the north. We are looking to award the contracts to up to two Tenderers. A provider can bid for both contracts if they wish, and should they meet the requirements and win the competitive process for both they could be awarded both contracts. Funding of up to PS50,000 including VAT is available in 2018-19 for each contract, PS100,000 including VAT in total to support this work. These events should be designed to promote effective teaching of systematic synthetic phonics in reception and key stage 1 (including the transition between these phases). The events should, in total, target a minimum of 800 teachers and school leaders (an average of 40 per event, but each event must be attended by a minimum of 15). The exact location of Roadshows is to be agreed with the Department for Education but bids should demonstrate an understanding of the areas where the bidder thinks that the Roadshows are needed - for example, areas where results in the phonics screening check are low and districts in Category 5 and 6 achieving excellence areas. Details of these areas can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/defining-achieving-excellence-areas-methodology. Additional information: ***New on 12th June 2018 - Please note that the Cyber Essentials requirements in the tender documentation ("DOCUMENT 2 DEPARTMENTAL STANDARD REQUIREMENTS", pts. 5-12) have been amended. Please disregard pts. 8-11 in this section, referring to ISO27001 certification. The Cyber Essentials certification is required as a condition of contract award. For avoidance of doubt it is NOT A REQUIREMENT for a Tenderer to have achieved ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management Systems Requirements) certification as a condition of contract award. Because of this change, we have also decided to EXTEND THE DEADLINE for tenders to 12:00 (midday) on Friday 22 June. *** Tenderers will need to submit their tenders by the latest of 12:00 (midday) on 22 June 2018 by email to English.IMPLEMENTATION@education.gov.uk with the subject, 'Phonics Roadshow Tender'. Please submit Responses in Word or .pdf format. Note that there is a word limit for your response to Section 3 (below) of 2,500 words (excluding cost and reach tables). Please submit a separate Response for each Lot being applied for, and clearly mark on each Response whether the Response is in respect of Lot A (to deliver Roadshows in the north of England) or Lot B (to deliver Roadshows in England outside the north).
