## Summary

The Northumberland County Council is seeking a STEM Learning Consultant for the project titled "Union Chain Bridge: Crossing Borders, Inspiring Communities." This tender, classified under primary and secondary education services, is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 13th May 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 22nd May 2020 and will continue until 16th December 2022, with activities based in the North East of the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised for this opportunity is an open procedure, and this tender represents a re-publication after the previous attempt did not attract enough interest.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses focused on educational services, particularly those specialising in STEM initiatives. Companies with expertise in developing and delivering educational programmes, especially for primary and middle schools, would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, fostering community engagement and innovative approaches to education that cater to diverse learning needs.

## Notice

An experienced STEM Learning Consultant is required to deliver a STEM Learning Programme which forms a key component of the Union Chain Bridge: Crossing borders, inspiring communities project. Using the Union Chain Bridge project as a focus and driver of activity with first, primary and middle schools on both sides of the borders, the programme will support teachers in developing and improving their STEM practice; engage families in supporting their children's learning; and introduce STEM careers ideas in accessible ways. The programme's central aim is to prompt a generation of primary/middle school leavers to enter secondary school understanding that STEM routes are accessible to 'people like me'; a key attitudinal change which will secure a genuine legacy for the Union Chain Bridge Project. Additional information: This is a re-publication of the opportunity after the first process did not generate sufficient interest.
