This active procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with an end date for submissions set for 20th October 2017. The contract will cover services across various locations in the United Kingdom, including London and Manchester, and the total value of the contract is approximately £10,000. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 30th October 2017 and conclude on 30th March 2018, with the procurement being conducted through an open procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as it requires the delivery of training programmes in further education. Suitable businesses may include training providers, educational organisations, or consultants specialising in higher education services. Engaging in this tender could enhance their visibility, foster partnerships, and expand their delivery capabilities in the education sector. ## Notice Further Education now accounts for delivery of over 10% of the HE level work in England: HNCs, full degrees, Higher Level Apprenticeships; professional qualifications, and indeed some post graduate level work all now increasingly happen in the further education sector. However, this is not reflected in the content of current ITE qualification (although a few HEIs do offer relevant options). The Foundation sought to address this gap in training provision by engaging Derby University to design and pilot a level 6 CPD module, approximately the size of a Diploma option unit. This was achieved and two pilots were successfully completed. The Foundation is now offering this package in two separate regional locations as part of the start of making it more widely available. The specific work involves: 1. identifying two regional venues 2. recruiting 10+ trainees to each programme 3. delivering the training 4. relevant assessment 5. providing an evaluation The Derby scheme was a 20-credit level 6 programme delivered face to face over 4 days with additional online material provided and we would expect the successful delivery partner to offer something similar. Original pilots were at Chesterfield and Buxton so we would wish to see 2 separate centres further afield (eg say London and Manchester). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14efec80-ac52-4b3d-a228-69fbcf826433 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Oct 2017 | | Submission deadline | 20 Oct 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Oct 2017 - 30 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000 | | 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 | 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 - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80300000 - Higher education services ## Release History - 5 Oct 2017 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14efec80-ac52-4b3d-a228-69fbcf826433 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/14efec80-ac52-4b3d-a228-69fbcf826433 5th October 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT147560 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.
