This initiative falls under the education and training services industry and is applicable across various regions in the United Kingdom, including North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London. Currently in the tender stage, the opportunity was published on 6th November 2018, with a submission deadline set for 27th November 2018. The contract period will commence on 6th December 2018 and conclude on 31st March 2019, following an open procurement method that accommodates small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, especially those focused on training, staff development, and quality framework implementation within correctional facilities. Companies with expertise in vocational training, personnel-training services, and educational system quality assurance are particularly suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project not only allows businesses to contribute to rehabilitative education in prisons but also opens avenues for long-term partnerships with the Education and Training Foundation and potentially other organisations in the public sector. ## Notice Over the past three years, the ETF has worked with the offender learning workforce to develop a substantial sector led offer. We wish to build on and incorporate these activities into a system which will support and prepare the secure estate for the new world of learning. From April 2019, prison governors will have the responsibility of developing and implementing a vision for learning for their prison. In order to make this vision a reality, it is imperative that all staff working within prisons understand their role in supporting it and the part they play in a prisoner's rehabilitative journey. It is also important that the systems and structures in place, both within and across the prison estate, enable governors to identify whether their learning offer is effective and to be able to draw on examples of effective practice from other prisons. The ETF are looking to commission a delivery partner(s) to develop and pilot a quality framework and processes to support the implementation of the governor's vision for learning, creating mechanisms to ensure prison staff are working towards this vision and, to test that the commissioned learning offer is effective. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/91ba0df6-4462-4391-8ffb-77eacbf5dc47 | | 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 | 6 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | 27 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 6 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 - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 72224200 - System quality assurance planning services - 75231230 - Prison services - 79632000 - Personnel-training services - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80511000 - Staff training services - 80521000 - Training programme services - 80530000 - Vocational training services - 80531200 - Technical training services - 92111100 - Training-film and video-tape production - 92312212 - Services related to the preparation of training manuals ## Release History - 6 Nov 2018 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/91ba0df6-4462-4391-8ffb-77eacbf5dc47 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/91ba0df6-4462-4391-8ffb-77eacbf5dc47 6th November 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV155833 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.
