This procurement falls under the category of education and training services and is based in various regions across the United Kingdom. The tender period is set to conclude on 16 November 2018, with the awarded framework contract commencing on 1 March 2019 and lasting until 28 February 2023, with no extensions available. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education consultancy or related fields, particularly those who can demonstrate senior-level expertise in areas such as safeguarding, counter extremism, and curriculum development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the Department for Education is keen to ensure a diverse range of expertise on the register to meet various regional needs across England. ## Notice The Secretary of State for Education (Contracting Authority) acting through the Department for Education (DfE) is inviting bids from individuals and organisations to create a register (the Register of External Experts or RoEE) of individuals who have expertise and experience at a senior level in the education sector to provide advice to the DfE when the DfE's need for advice arises (External Experts). Bidders are invited to bid against a series of six broad areas or 'categories'. Within those categories, individuals will be invited to confirm their ability to provide advice in a number of expertise/experience areas. Individuals will be expected to meet minimum mandatory requirements, and meet minimum thresholds of expertise/experience to be appointed to the RoEE. The categories are as follows: 1. Safeguarding 2. Counter Extremism 3. Free Schools 4. University Technical Colleges 5. Curriculum 6. General Educationalist When allocating places on the RoEE, the DfE will aim to ensure that specialist categories (being the higher categories on the above list) are adequately covered, whilst encouraging applications from those with a broad range of experience and expertise across the eight Regional Schools Commissioner (RSC) areas in England. The DfE intend to initially award the RoEE to a maximum of 200 External Experts. Following the initial award of the RoEE, the DfE will review the coverage of the experience/expertise and/or regions. If the DfE finds experience/expertise and/or regions without adequate coverage, then it will re-open the RoEE to allow new applicants and previous applicants not appointed to the RoEE for those experience/expertise and/or regions to apply for a place on the RoEE in respect of those gaps. The DfE reserves the right to increase the total number External Experts appointed to the RoEE during any re-openings as required to ensure adequate coverage of all of the experience/expertise and/or regions requirements identified. Notification of a re-opening opportunity will be by way of an advert issued in Contracts Finder only (https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder). The advert will confirm the experience/expertise and/or Regions being sought. Appointment to the RoEE does not guarantee the award of any work. Appointment to the RoEE allows External Experts to bid for specific work opportunities made available by the DfE.
