The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with submissions due by 1st March 2018. This initiative includes three contract lots with values ranging from £0 to £15,750,000, catering to a diverse range of educational providers. The contracting period is set to commence on 2nd July 2018 and conclude by 31st March 2020, with the procurement method being a Light Touch Regime following a restricted procedure. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses focused on educational services, particularly those offering innovative solutions for teacher training and leadership development. Businesses, both small and large, including school-based organisations, are encouraged to apply. The departure from 'one-size-fits-all' solutions allows for a variety of service providers to participate, thereby promoting competition and growth within the education sector. Interested providers should prepare to navigate the DfE's e-Tendering portal for further details and submissions. ## Notice The Government is determined to build a country that works for everyone - and that means providing a place for every child in a good school that caters to their individual talents, abilities and needs, ensuring they all have the opportunity to reach their full potential. The Government's ambition to drive up standards in schools requires a strong supply of high quality teachers and leaders at all levels. The evidence is clear that the quality of teachers is the most important school-level factor in determining pupil outcomes , and this is particularly the case for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds, where the difference between a good or poor teacher can amount to a whole year's worth of education . Effective leadership is also crucial, but this is not yet widespread, systematic or consistent. The Department for Education (DfE) is committed to supporting pupil social mobility, and to do this by improving teaching and leadership in priority areas and priority schools through high quality, effective professional development. This is the Standard Selection Questionnaire (SSQ) to be used by the DfE for selecting suitable Candidates to be invited to tender for delivery of the Teaching and Leadership Innovation Fund DfE wants to encourage applications from a range of providers to promote innovation and to support the development of a sustainable market.
