The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 10 January 2018. The contract is intended to deliver flexible support for local practitioner needs across the Thames Valley region and is valued at £50,000. The contract period is set to commence on 22 January 2018 and conclude on 31 July 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those with experience in education and training services. Potential bidders include current Professional Exchange contract holders, localised providers focusing on city or county-wide delivery, and new entrants capable of offering specialist services on a national scale, such as support for SEND or subject-specific education. Engaging in this tender could enhance service delivery capabilities and facilitate growth in the competitive education sector. ## Notice Following the pilot delivery of Professional Exchanges in 2016/17 and the commissioning of Exchanges for 2017/2018 and onwards, the Foundation is seeking to commission an Exchange that covers the Thames Valley region. Building on lessons learnt during the pilot phases, we are seeking to find an organisation with the capacity to deliver an Exchange that is flexible and works to support local practitioner needs, whilst also following the outline within this document. This ITT is open to all organisations, whether current Professional Exchange contract holders or new providers. The Foundation is actively seeking to encourage new partners to engage and work with, in particular to support thematic work where partner organisations have expertise or national coverage. We are therefore keen to receive tenders from, for example: - current Professional Exchange contract holders - new tenderers working in localised areas (e.g. city / county wide settings) - new tenderers working on national / multiple region settings to support specialist delivery (e.g. SEND, Subject specific delivery) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/48a3a159-1ce4-44b0-9d98-c673bd254894 | | 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 | 12 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jan 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 22 Jan 2018 - 31 Jul 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 ## Release History - 12 Dec 2017 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/48a3a159-1ce4-44b0-9d98-c673bd254894 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/48a3a159-1ce4-44b0-9d98-c673bd254894 12th December 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC149551 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.
