This procurement process, currently at the Tender stage, involves an open procedure for selecting suppliers. The contract, valued at £65,000, aims to cover multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London, among others. The tender period ends on 27th January 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 3rd February 2017 and last until 31st July 2017. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in education and training services, specifically those focused on delivering teacher training and development programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those equipped to deliver evidence-based training methodologies. By being a part of this initiative, businesses can contribute to the formation of national standards and qualifications for teacher trainers, positioning themselves as influential players in the education sector. ## Notice The Foundation wishes to maintain and enhance the quality of initial teacher education (ITE) in the Further Education (FE) and training sector to meet the current and future demands of the nation's post-16 workforce. We wish to support ITE wherever it is delivered, be it FE college, independent training provider, adult community learning or voluntary community sector organisation, in order to ensure the highest possible standards of teacher training via initial and continuous training for teacher trainers. We are looking to award 4 regional projects to trial approaches to the training of post-16 teacher trainers and to monitor and evaluate what works well in their training and development. Eventually we would like to see Professional Standards and, potentially, qualifications for teacher trainers that allow for the development of some national consistency and that are owned and valued by the target group of teachers. Each project will run across two financial years to allow for end to end evaluation of intention and impact. We want to see plans for training and developing teacher trainers using evidence based methodologies where available, with the first cohorts starting before March 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f78b1c6-226a-42c4-8c64-07844b412401 | | 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 | 13 Jan 2017 | | Submission deadline | 27 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Feb 2017 - 31 Jul 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £65,000 | | 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 - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 13 Jan 2017 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f78b1c6-226a-42c4-8c64-07844b412401 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2f78b1c6-226a-42c4-8c64-07844b412401 13th January 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN137112 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.
