## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation is facilitating the Regional Governance Programme for 2017/18, focusing on providing governance and trusteeship support to the Further Education (FE) and skills sector. This programme is classified under the education and training services industry, with a total budget of £90,246. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 2nd June 2017 and contracts commencing on 3rd July 2017, set to end on 30th March 2018. The programme aims to support various regions across the United Kingdom, including North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in educational services, particularly those specialising in governance, events, and research in the education sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) could particularly benefit by participating in this tender as it seeks proposals for high-profile events and research initiatives. Companies that offer innovative solutions for governor training and board assurance frameworks will find alignment with the objectives of this programme, positioning themselves well for growth and partnership opportunities.

## Notice

Four contracts were awarded for regional governance and trusteeship support from regions across the Further Education (FE) and skills sector. Last year, the Foundation funded a Regional Support Programme. This was mainly in the form of events to support governors and clerks in colleges, inductions for new board members, and five regional research projects. The regional programme demonstrated a wide degree of reach with representatives from 187 colleges with over 600 attendees. The research projects focused on Chairs peer review, board assurance frameworks and practice, the role of governors in a devolved world and effective monitoring of teaching learning and assessment in adult and continuing education. The outputs from these projects will be on the ETF Leadership Hub. This year, using the evaluation and feedback from last year's projects, the Foundation have continued with the regional fund, and sought for proposals that covered the following areas: (1) research, (2) high profile events and (3) a series of inductions for new governors. Tenderers were able to bid for one or all of these areas.
