This initiative aims to recruit and train graduates as teachers, particularly in the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, North West, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, South East, South West, and London areas of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with an open procurement method. The tender period concludes on 11 January 2017, while the contract is scheduled to start on 31 January 2017 and end on 30 March 2018. The total value of the opportunity is £350,000, excluding salary costs but including support for recruitment and training. This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in education and training services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that specialise in teacher training, mentoring, and professional development would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Additionally, providers with expertise in mathematics education may find a secondary opportunity due to the scheme's emphasis on developing graduates who can also teach GCSE maths, creating a well-rounded training hub for future educators. ## Notice A graduate training scheme for teachers focussed on SET (Science Engineering and Technology), with an emphasis on those careers within the relevant routes of the Sainsbury Review. Whilst implementation of the Review is two academic cycles away, this is the ideal time to seek to grow the capacity of organisations who wish to be ready to benefit from the changes the Review will bring. Two consortia/hubs will be sourced (led by general Further Education (FE) college, large Independent Training Providers (ITPs) or Higher Education Institutions (HEI)). These consortia will work to recruit and train, support and mentor graduates who wish to enter the teaching profession to deliver a majority of teaching within the SET subject areas. Consideration will be given to those with sufficiently developed mathematics capability that they may also be able to work as GCSE maths specialist teachers alongside their core SET teaching, but this is a secondary aim. The scheme will support ancillary cost but not salary costs - support with recruitment, initial teacher education (ITE), mentoring and professional support will be met through the programme. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/370a319a-dbf3-45ba-888c-2bad3a50854b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | 11 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jan 2017 - 30 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £350,000 | | 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 - 80300000 - Higher education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 16 Dec 2016 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/370a319a-dbf3-45ba-888c-2bad3a50854b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/370a319a-dbf3-45ba-888c-2bad3a50854b 16th December 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC136238 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.
