## Summary

The Education and Training Foundation is currently conducting a tender process for the project titled "Functional Skills support for the FE workforce- Strand 2: Produce and pilot training on phonics."

The tender period is open until 9th July 2018, with the contract expected to start on 16th July 2018 and conclude on 29th March 2019. An open procedure procurement method is being employed for this process, which is below the financial threshold set for formal competitions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational training services, professional development, and vocational training. Companies that focus on the creation of evidence-based materials and training modules for educators would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, which may foster new partnerships and drive business growth within the educational sector.

## Notice

This tender is for strand two of four: Produce and pilot training on phonics for Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and existing teachers of Functional Skills. The Foundation are seeking a tenderer to build on strand one to develop and pilot training modules specifically for phonics teaching in an adult context. The CPD offer needs to be strongly evidence based and underpinned by robust teaching approaches.
