The procurement falls under the industry category of training programme services. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a tender deadline of 16th August 2023 and a contract period running from 18th September 2023 to 18th March 2024. The buying organisation, OFCOM, is seeking to commission the delivery of two lots of training targeting specific professional groups supporting children eligible for pupil premium payments, with mental health challenges, or with experience of care. This tender presents an opportunity for organisations experienced in providing media literacy training to professionals in education, youth, health, social work, and community sectors. Businesses aiming to enhance media literacy outcomes for children and young people, sustainably deliver training over time, and demonstrate competence in digital content and creation areas are well-suited to compete. With a minimum of 500 professionals to be trained, organisations can leverage this opportunity to expand their reach, contribute to professional development, and align with the standards for effective professional development outlined by DFE 2016. ## Notice Ofcom have identified a gap in Continuing Professional Development related to media literacy for professionals supporting children and young people. This ITT sets out our requirements for media literacy training for professionals who work with children. Through this process we will commission the delivery of two lots of training. We require the development of two training courses for the following professions: - Lot 1: Education and youth professionals - Lot 2: Children's health, social work and community professionals We are particularly interested in reaching professionals who support children eligible for pupil premium payments, with mental health challenges, or with experience of care. We require organisations to demonstrate their experience of delivering effective training for the professionals they aim to work with. It is likely that your organisation has already developed a media literacy training programme, although it may require some adaptation to meet the purpose of this tender. Organisations may tender for more than one of the lots if they have relevant experience with the targeted professionals. A minimum of 500 professionals should be trained within the period of this contract. Organisations may charge for training, using the budget from this contract to subsidise places. Training will be required to outline the outcomes that will be met for the professionals being trained and the children they work with. We will expect to see at least one competence from the Information and data literacy, Communication and collaboration or Digital content and creation areas of the DigComp framework (https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/digcomp_en) met through the training. Training may be delivered online or in person. In order to be effective, it should: - have a focus on improving media literacy outcomes for children and young people - be underpinned by robust evidence and expertise - include collaboration and expert challenge - be sustained over time (e.g. a minimum of two sessions that build on each other) (These principles are adapted from the standards for effective professional development, DFE 2016.) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ee00714-d2a7-477b-8d59-faf329e26d62 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jul 2023 | | Submission deadline | 16 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Sep 2023 - 18 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £290,000 | | 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 | OFCOM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 9HA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | Borough & Bankside | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80521000 - Training programme services ## Release History - 14 Jul 2023 at 12:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ee00714-d2a7-477b-8d59-faf329e26d62 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9ee00714-d2a7-477b-8d59-faf329e26d62 14th July 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/digcomp_en - https://ofcom.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
