## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation is seeking suppliers for the "SET for Success" programme, focused on enhancing graduate training for teachers in Science, Engineering, and Technology (SET). This initiative is part of an open procurement process, classified under the CPV code for Education and training services, with an estimated value of £819,500. The contract period is set to commence on 13th February 2017 and will run until 31st July 2018. This procurement initiative is currently at the Award stage, with contracts awarded to Blackburn College and Emfec, following the tender period that concluded on 11th January 2017.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses involved in education and training services, particularly those with experience in recruiting and mentoring educators. Organisations that specialise in Graduate Teacher Training, initial teacher education, and SET-related disciplines would be well-positioned to engage in this procurement process. Additionally, companies capable of providing support for the recruitment and professional development of teaching staff can leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and enhance their market presence across various regions in the UK.

## Notice

Contracts were awarded for a graduate training scheme for teachers focused on SET (Science Engineering and Technology), with an emphasis on those careers within the relevant routes of the Sainsbury Review. Whilst implementation of the Review is two academic cycles away, this was the ideal time to seek to grow the capacity of organisations who wish to be ready to benefit from the changes the Review will bring. Two consortia/hubs were sourced (led by general Further Education (FE) college, large Independent Training Providers (ITPs) or Higher Education Institutions (HEI)). The consortia worked to recruit and train, support and mentor graduates who wish to enter the teaching profession to deliver a majority of teaching within the SET subject areas. Consideration was given to those with sufficiently developed mathematics capability that they may also be able to work as GCSE maths specialist teachers alongside their core SET teaching, but this was a secondary aim. The scheme supported ancillary cost but not salary costs - support with recruitment, initial teacher education (ITE), mentoring and professional support were met through the programme.
