The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 30th January 2017. The target industries include education and training services, particularly adult education, with a total contract value of £45,000. The contract period is slated to run from 6th February 2017 to 31st July 2017. This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses involved in educational services, especially those that can provide support for final year undergraduates considering teaching careers. Suitable organisations may include educational institutions, training providers, and consultancy firms that can facilitate student placements in colleges or Independent Training Providers (ITPs), potentially leading to multiple contract awards for broader regional engagement. The emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) further highlights the importance of localised partnerships in this initiative. ## Notice The Foundation takes the issues of an adequate workforce supply to ensure high quality teachers in the Further Education (FE) and training sector for the future seriously. Underpinning this, is making sure that graduates are aware of and attracted to jobs within the sector, thereby bringing the latest thinking to the workshop and classroom. Encouraging final year students into an arena they may not know of, but which offers a mix of challenges and rewards will increase awareness and expand the pool of potential trainees. Through this tender, the Foundation is seeking to encourage final year undergraduates to consider a career in teaching in the FE and training sector. One approach to this is to get final year students to spend some time in colleges or ITPs, helping with the delivery. The Foundation is seeking a partner to arrange this by means of offering financial incentives to the students and operational funding to the colleges/ITPs. As the partner might be working at a local level, we may consider awarding more than one contract (if required) to ensure a degree of regional coverage. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/490a055e-166f-406c-ac13-83e3f3cb74cc | | 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 Jan 2017 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 Feb 2017 - 31 Jul 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | 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 - 16 Jan 2017 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/490a055e-166f-406c-ac13-83e3f3cb74cc ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/490a055e-166f-406c-ac13-83e3f3cb74cc 16th January 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN137196 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.
