## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation is seeking tenders for the initiative titled "More HE in FE," which aims to enhance higher education delivery within further education. This procurement process, categorised under education and training services, is currently at the Tender stage. The tender period will close on 25th September 2017, with contract execution anticipated to commence on 3rd October 2017 and continue until 30th March 2018. Opportunities exist across various regions within the United Kingdom, including North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London, with a total contract value of £10,000. The procurement method is an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) focused on education and training services. Businesses that specialise in developing educational programmes, vocational training, and continuous professional development will be well-positioned to compete effectively in this procurement process. Engaging in this project could enable companies to expand their offerings and establish stronger partnerships within the educational sector.

## Notice

Further Education now accounts for delivery of over 25% of the HE level work in England: HNCs, full degrees, Higher Level Apprenticeships; professional qualifications, and indeed some post graduate level work all now increasingly happen in the further education sector. However, this is not reflected in the content of current ITE qualification (although a few HEIs do offer relevant options). The Foundation sought to address this gap in training provision by engaging Derby University to design and pilot a level 6 CPD module, approximately the size of a Diploma option unit. This was achieved and two pilots were successfully completed. The Foundation is now offering this package in two separate regional locations as part of the start of making it more widely available.
