The procurement process is in the Planning stage, and the tender period is set to conclude on 6th July 2020, with contract execution anticipated to commence on 1st September 2020 and last until 31st July 2023. This open procurement opportunity entails grant funding of up to £250,000 annually for selected Outstanding schools to design and deliver bespoke leadership training programmes. Interested parties are encouraged to engage with the DfE's e-tendering portal, Jaggaer, for further details. This tender presents significant opportunities for educational institutions and training providers, particularly those specialising in leadership development and teacher training. Businesses that align with the DfE's objectives of fostering a knowledge-rich curriculum coupled with behaviour management strategies will find this competitive grant process particularly appealing. Organisations that can demonstrate a proven track record in successfully delivering impactful training programmes and are prepared to establish financial sustainability plans will be ideally positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice The Department for Education (DfE) is looking to engage a minimum of two Outstanding schools to design and deliver bespoke leadership training programmes. Successful grant applications will reflect a knowledge-rich curriculum, direct instruction and a strong focus on behaviour management. This opportunity relates to grant funding which will be provided to deliver 3-year pilot programmes up to a maximum value of PS250k per annum per programme, subject to continued government funding and successful annual delivery. This competitive grant process aims to secure a minimum of two Outstanding schools to act as providers of new 'Exemplary Leadership Programmes' (ELPs). They will: - Devise and deliver a training and development programme for other school leaders based on their schools' approach to education, grounded in a knowledge-rich curriculum, high expectations for all pupils, direct instruction and strong behaviour management; - Target this offer at schools and leaders who are most likely to benefit from such training and development, based on a willingness to embrace different methods and also by aligning with other departmental initiatives ; - Operate in such a way that we are able to clearly monitor the impact of the programme on the behaviour of participants and the impacts on pupils in their schools; - Show a clear plan for future financial sustainability; and, - Share learning with the department to enable us to adjust our wider leadership offer in the future, based on the evidence gathered during the programme. These programmes will work as pilots, to determine the extent to which the success of the schools who have adopted this approach is replicable in other schools.
