This project falls under the services category within the education and training industry and encompasses various regions across the United Kingdom. The procurement process followed an open procedure, concluding its tender period on 20th March 2017, with a total contract value of £395,853. The awarded contracts began on 19th April 2017 and will run until 30th March 2018. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on educational support, particularly those offering innovative solutions to enhance education for SEND learners. Companies specialising in educational resources, training for educators, and career guidance services would be well-suited to compete. As this initiative emphasises tailored programmes and improved career advice, suppliers with expertise in technical and vocational education services can particularly benefit from engaging with this contracting process. ## Notice 4 contracts have been awarded to build on the work carried out in 2016-17 by the Foundation (http://www.et-foundation.co.uk/supporting/support-practitioners/special-educational-needs-disabilities-send-resources/), and its partners, to support staff working in the Post-16 sector to improve outcomes for learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The aim was to make sure that all learners with a learning difficulty and/or disability are supported in their learning and in the achievement of their aspirations in life, wherever and whatever they are learning. Our work included learners with Education and Health Care (EHC) Plans, as well as those without plans. In 2017-18, our work specifically focused on: - Support for leadership teams and those involved in governance - Support for providers to design tailored study programmes that offer pathways to employment and adult life for young people with SEND - Creation of resources and a programme of activity which supports better careers advice for learners with SEND - An evaluation of the impact of this work. Learner voice was an integral part of all the activity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/265a581a-4c27-48a0-b3ac-3f409c3d1231 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Nov 2017 | | Submission deadline | 20 Mar 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Apr 2017 | | Contract period | 18 Apr 2017 - 30 Mar 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £395,853 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £53,928 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | 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) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 4 | | Supplier names | ACER; ASSOCIATION OF EMPLOYERS AND LEARNING PROVIDERS; LEO LEARNING; SQW | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80210000 - Technical and vocational secondary education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 23 Nov 2017 at 17:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/265a581a-4c27-48a0-b3ac-3f409c3d1231 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/265a581a-4c27-48a0-b3ac-3f409c3d1231 23rd November 2017 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV148850 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 - http://www.et-foundation.co.uk/supporting/support-practitioners/special-educational-needs-disabilities-send-resources/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
