This procurement process is classified under education and training services, with an open procedure below threshold. The tender was published on 18 June 2021, and interested parties must submit their applications by 12 July 2021. The contract period will commence on 1 September 2021 and conclude on 31 January 2022, covering various regions across the United Kingdom. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in education and training services, particularly those that specialise in equality, diversity, and inclusion initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially encouraged to participate, allowing them to contribute to important EDI projects while potentially expanding their client base within the education sector. Successful projects will also result in valuable insights being disseminated across the sector, further enhancing reputation and future business prospects. ## Notice During 2021-22, The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) will match-fund 10 projects, at 6,800 GBP each, to explore and address specific Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) issues in FE providers. This is a new area of activity for ETF, which along with other programmes and initiatives, aims to support a pipeline of managers and leaders in FE that represent the diversity of learners in the sector. Learning from these projects will be disseminated to the wider sector and inform ETF's future diversity activity, including a pilot activity this year, in which senior leaders and governors will be brought together to develop an organisational diversity strategy. Providers interested in this opportunity should submit a response by the deadline stated. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09e4194f-98ec-4ee8-9c20-09b03daa77e5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jul 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2021 - 31 Jan 2022 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79632000 - Personnel-training services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80211000 - Technical secondary education services - 80212000 - Vocational secondary education services - 80340000 - Special education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80430000 - Adult-education services at university level - 80490000 - Operation of an educational centre - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80521000 - Training programme services - 80530000 - Vocational training services - 80531200 - Technical training services - 80532000 - Management training services - 80570000 - Personal development training services ## Release History - 18 Jun 2021 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09e4194f-98ec-4ee8-9c20-09b03daa77e5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/09e4194f-98ec-4ee8-9c20-09b03daa77e5 18th June 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN162204 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.
