This initiative falls under the category of Administrative educational services and aims to advance the engagement of learners in mathematics across various prison settings in England. The tender is actively seeking proposals and will close on 4 December 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 13 December 2018 and run until 31 March 2019. The procurement method is an open procedure below threshold, making it accessible to a wide range of suppliers. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational services, vocational training, and creative curriculum development. Companies that can provide innovative approaches to learner engagement and practical applications of maths in non-traditional settings could greatly benefit from participating. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete for this contract, leveraging their unique capabilities to enhance the educational experience of prison learners across the United Kingdom. ## Notice The 3 out of 5 maths challenge was developed with the prison workforce and its learners and, has been introduced to a number of prisons across England during the past two years. The ethos of the scheme is to encourage reluctant learners to tackle and enjoy maths, in non-traditional settings - in the gym, library and gardens - in fact anywhere outside of the maths classroom. The 3 out of 5 Pack consists of 21 Challenges grouped into 5 Topics. Any learner who completes 3 Challenges - one from each of any 3 of the 5 Topics - receives an ETF-branded 3 out of 5 calculator, and the prison / YOI with the largest number of Completers wins8 the 3 out of 5 Challenge Shield which they retain for one year before passing on to the next winning prison. To date, 50 English prisons/YOIs have participated in the challenge and the 2017/18 winning prison was HMP Guys Marsh. We now want to take the 3 out of 5 maths challenge to the next level whilst retaining its spirit. We wish for the 3 out of 5 maths challenge to become the "doorway" maths scheme of choice - comparable to the Reading Agency's 6 reads approach to literacy learning. Many of the activities have been created by or with learners and the 3 out of 5 logo is the creation of a former prison learner. We wish to build on this learner led approach and commission an organisation to work with us to achieve the activities listed in the tender specification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77e80af7-cffd-404d-b6c8-49ca7164b720 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | 4 Dec 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Dec 2018 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | THE 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 - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 75121000 - Administrative educational services - 79824000 - Printing and distribution services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80210000 - Technical and vocational secondary education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 13 Nov 2018 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77e80af7-cffd-404d-b6c8-49ca7164b720 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77e80af7-cffd-404d-b6c8-49ca7164b720 13th November 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV155888 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.
