The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 5th December 2019. The contract, valued at £40,000, is scheduled to commence on 20th December 2019 and conclude by 30th April 2020. This tender falls under the education and training services category, with an open procurement method applied, allowing for broad participation. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those with experience in developing curriculum materials or training content in sensitive areas such as safeguarding, mental health, and inclusivity. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the contracting authority values their contributions in supporting the educational sector. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in creating engaging and effective online training resources are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Subject Experts to create training modules for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) The purpose of the subject matter experts review is to provide children and young people with the knowledge to lead safe, healthy and happy lives. Some of the statutory content will need to be handled with particular care and sensitivity, for example on safeguarding and mental health, and the Authority is committed to supporting high quality teaching. As part of this commitment, the Authority wants to provide teachers with a single point of access to online training modules that are aligned to the areas that teachers have told us, through research that they find most challenging. These training modules will be published alongside other support materials for schools such as the implementation guide, case studies and quality assured resources. The topics below have been identified by teachers as areas they find most challenging to teach and therefore require training. There may be other areas that schools identify as a training need when we begin to test the modules with a wider pool of schools during development. The Contractor shall work with the Authority's digital content developer to design the following training modules for use in schools: - a. Relationships Education (Primary) Teaching inclusively about family units (e.g. single parents/LGBT) Online safety Preventing bullying b. Health Education (Primary) Mental health Puberty c. Relationships Sex Education (Secondary) Sexual intimacy FGM Contraception Gender identity Harmful content online such as pornography Online safety d. Health Education (Secondary) Mental health Drugs and alcohol risks Body image e. Curriculum planning for Relationships Education and Health Education at Primary f. Curriculum planning for Relationships and Sex Education, and Health Education at Secondary Additional information: How to apply Please apply directly to the buyer using the contact details provided, or follow the instructions given in the notice description or information section. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/746a859f-80f7-4843-a8af-a3e7e36ff1a7 | | 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 | 2 Dec 2019 | | Submission deadline | 5 Dec 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 20 Dec 2019 - 30 Apr 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £40,000 | | 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 | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | 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 | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 2 Dec 2019 at 08:29 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/746a859f-80f7-4843-a8af-a3e7e36ff1a7 - 28 Nov 2019 at 11:36 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/746a859f-80f7-4843-a8af-a3e7e36ff1a7 - 28 Nov 2019 at 11:07 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/746a859f-80f7-4843-a8af-a3e7e36ff1a7 - 26 Nov 2019 at 12:01 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/746a859f-80f7-4843-a8af-a3e7e36ff1a7 - 22 Nov 2019 at 11:35 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/746a859f-80f7-4843-a8af-a3e7e36ff1a7 - 21 Nov 2019 at 15:55 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/746a859f-80f7-4843-a8af-a3e7e36ff1a7 - 21 Nov 2019 at 14:17 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/746a859f-80f7-4843-a8af-a3e7e36ff1a7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/746a859f-80f7-4843-a8af-a3e7e36ff1a7 2nd December 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8cbcf59a-1483-4e38-9ab6-e076c45b81e2 Bid document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4e1f40aa-93ec-4c85-8b56-eb20014f198c Tender Evaluation Criteria - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d0efdccf-347e-4c07-b94d-dbc8820c43b4 Contract - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b710dd92-60be-46e3-8297-8917e83fe44a Contract Annex A - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/129d0889-e281-4dbf-aaae-4f1db4cb5800 Tender Evaluation Criteria - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/ffa9bd81-79d5-403b-a963-37b7ff996911 Bid Document - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/adcec801-8cc2-458f-8cf0-197460fcbcba Clarification Questions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a26d8e1c-b9d9-436f-aa27-e91549fecb96 Clarification Questions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cf24c695-3499-40ad-87ad-278c799995f1 Clarification Questions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/553e1363-6b2f-42ef-b8e6-d656d49a86f8 Clarification Questions ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
