This procurement process is currently in the tender stage, having been published on 6th November 2020 and with a submission deadline of 23rd November 2020. The project is classified under the services category, specifically focusing on research and development consultancy, and it will be delivered across various regions in the United Kingdom, such as London, the North West, and the South East. The contract period is set to begin on 7th December 2020 and extend until 30th April 2021. This is an open procedure below threshold, inviting a wide range of organisations to participate. This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs, voluntary and community sector enterprises, as well as research and consultancy firms with expertise in education and training evaluation. Businesses that can effectively offer social research services, educational consultancy, or market research will find themselves well-placed to submit competitive tenders. Engaging in such evaluations not only supports professional development within the education sector but also allows firms to demonstrate their capabilities in delivering meaningful impact assessments, thus potentially leading to future collaborations and contracts in the field. ## Notice The ETF is seeking a tenderer to conduct an independent evaluation of the New to English Speakers of Other Languages (New to ESOL) programme for teachers/trainers in the FE sector. The aim of this programme is to evaluate professional learning and development including training and resources designed to support practitioners (teachers, classroom assistants, volunteers and others) working with ESOL learners (often referred to as being at 'pre-Entry' level), who we refer to as New to ESOL learners. The overall aim of this project is to carry out an independent short and medium-term evaluation of the delivery of the New to ESOL programme between December 2020 and March 2021. This will involve activities developed this year with practitioners taking part in the programme for the first time. It will also include consideration of activities and resources developed in the previous two years, identifying those practitioners who attended PLD sessions last year who are involved in follow up sessions this year. The programme started delivery remotely in October 2020. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c27402b9-6b17-4493-97da-2bb633d3583a | | 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 | 6 Nov 2020 | | Submission deadline | 23 Nov 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Dec 2020 - 30 Apr 2021 | | 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 - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79310000 - Market research services - 79315000 - Social research services - 79419000 - Evaluation consultancy services - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 6 Nov 2020 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c27402b9-6b17-4493-97da-2bb633d3583a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c27402b9-6b17-4493-97da-2bb633d3583a 6th November 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV160744 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.
