This service procurement falls under the education and training services sector and is focused on the South area, which includes the South West, South East, and London. The award has a total value of £144,900 and is currently in the award stage following its tender period, which concluded on 18 April 2019. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 26 April 2019 and will last until 31 March 2020. This contract opportunity invites interested parties to facilitate placements and provide financial incentives for students entering FE teaching roles. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses involved in education services, particularly those specialising in mentoring, recruitment, career guidance, and vocational education. Companies with experience in delivery or coordination of educational placements within further education institutions will be well-placed to compete. Furthermore, entities that can demonstrate collaboration with local FE providers and offer innovative solutions to attract final year students and graduates to the teaching profession in the specified regions are encouraged to participate, thereby contributing to the overall enhancement of the FE workforce. ## Notice This is the third of three invitations to tender on this topic. The ETF seeks to encourage final year undergraduates and post graduates to consider a career in teaching in FE. One approach to this is to get such students to spend some time in FE providers (colleges or independent Training Providers (ITPs)), helping with the delivery. The ETF is seeking a tenderer to organise mentored placements with FE sector providers and facilitating this by offering financial incentives to the students and operational funding to the colleges/ITPs. The successfully appointed tenderer will research and compile a list of local vacancies including part time teaching vacancies which will be made available to participants. We are seeking to award three contracts in separate regions for this work across England. The successfully appointed tenderer will be expected to work across one of the following English FE areas: North, Central and South: This ITT is for the South area including the South West, South East and London FE regions. The successfully appointed tenderers for each region will be expected to work together to share good practice. Separate ITTs have been published for the North and Central regions. Tenderers wishing to bid for more than one region must complete a separate tender response document for each. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c699f5b-d01e-453f-95b8-282fdcffe731 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 18 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 24 Apr 2019 | | Contract period | 25 Apr 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £144,900 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £144,900 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOUNDATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1W 9SP | | 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 | Pimlico North | | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | COGNITION EDUCATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79600000 - Recruitment services - 79634000 - Career guidance services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80210000 - Technical and vocational secondary education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 5 Nov 2019 at 17:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c699f5b-d01e-453f-95b8-282fdcffe731 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2c699f5b-d01e-453f-95b8-282fdcffe731 5th November 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV158589 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.et-foundation.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
