This procurement falls under the education and training services category, specifically focusing on supporting effective teaching practices for subjects where learners may require additional support. The tendering process was conducted using an open procedure, with the contract awarded to the West Midlands Centre For Excellence In Teacher Training on 27 January 2017. The contract is scheduled to run until 30 June 2017, and services are to be delivered across various regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, London, and the South West. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in educational service development, particularly those specialising in adult education and teacher training solutions. Companies that develop educational content, training modules, or offer related consultancy services would be well-positioned to compete for similar tenders. The focus on enhancing teaching quality in Functional Skills for both new and existing educators creates a demand for innovative pedagogical approaches, making this sector ripe for growth. ## Notice A contract was awarded to produce two modules to support the teaching of Functional Skills maths and English, one for each subject. The key purpose was to ensure that both new teachers of these subjects and those already teaching, but possibly recently transferred from other areas, are conversant with effective practice and have the confidence to teach learners with skills below Level 2 in maths and English, and support their achievement. The modules were not intended to support the personal maths or English skills of teachers, rather the pedagogy of these subjects at this level. Practitioners wishing to undertake these modules, as part of a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training (DET) qualification or as CPD, will be required to demonstrate level 3 process skills and personal skills through a qualification or initial assessment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e764a29b-9149-4767-a251-7d52c5cec6cc | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Jan 2017 | | Contract period | 27 Jan 2017 - 30 Jun 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £47,912 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £47,912 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WEST MIDLANDS CENTRE FOR EXCELLENCE IN TEACHER TRAINING (WMCETT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 17 Nov 2017 at 17:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e764a29b-9149-4767-a251-7d52c5cec6cc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e764a29b-9149-4767-a251-7d52c5cec6cc 17th November 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV148716 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.
