## Summary

The procurement process titled "Match-funded EDI Projects in FE Providers" was awarded by The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) on 16 December 2021. This project falls under the education and training services industry and covers various regions in the United Kingdom, including London, North East, and Yorkshire and the Humber. The open procurement method was utilised, and the contract period commenced on 1 September 2021, concluding on 31 January 2022. This initiative received a total funding amount of £33,103, focusing on fostering equality, diversity, and inclusion issues within further education providers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), that specialise in education and training services. By engaging in projects that enhance diversity and inclusion within the education sector, businesses can contribute to crucial governmental initiatives while potentially improving their own market position and portfolio. The involvement of established suppliers, including prominent colleges, highlights the competitive landscape within this sphere, making it imperative for businesses to align their offerings with the objectives of the ETF.

## Notice

The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) has awarded 5 contracts for match-funded projects that explore and address specific Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) issues in FE providers. This new area of activity for ETF, along with other programmes and initiatives, aims to support a pipeline of managers and leaders in FE that represent the diversity of learners in the sector. Learning from these projects will be disseminated to the wider sector and inform ETF's future diversity activity, including a pilot activity this year, in which senior leaders and governors are brought together to develop an organisational diversity strategy.
