This initiative focuses on enhancing technical education by developing high-quality support resources for educators delivering T Levels in the United Kingdom's education sector. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline of 17th January 2019. The resulting contract will commence on 23rd January 2019 and conclude on 31st March 2019. This opportunity falls under the "Education and training services" industry category, utilising an open procurement method, specifically an open procedure below the threshold. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the education sector, particularly those specialising in teacher training, curriculum development, and educational resource production. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, especially those that can develop innovative pedagogical resources. By engaging in this project, businesses can contribute to enhancing the technical education landscape and thus position themselves to grow both their clientele and their reputation within the sector. ## Notice The technical education reforms are a systemic change and an opportunity to create opportunities for learners to thrive in a competitive labour market by developing the skills that are valued by employers. T Levels will need to be prestigious qualifications which are well understood by employers and attractive to learners and their parents and carers. It will be essential that delivery is high quality as there are implications for staff right across the sector, and challenges for senior leaders to develop and implement a coherent strategy across their institutions. As the national workforce development body for the Further Education and Training Sector, the ETF will be developing a suite of high quality professional development offers to support the teachers, trainers and leaders who will be delivering T Levels in 2020 and beyond. There are five main strands of support. The five strands will not only support teaching staff but also help create the right conditions for effective change management by supporting middle tier leaders and increasing interest and awareness of T Levels across the workforce. This project is part of strand 3 T Level support, providing support in pedagogic skills for teachers coming to T Levels. Pedagogy, like other disciplines, is not a static domain. In the past 5 years there have been various new initiatives and approaches, many of which have been strongly evidenced, which can contribute to improvements in teaching and learning. Whilst it would be reasonable to expect that those currently undertaking FE teacher training would be made familiar with the best/most relevant of these, there may exist staff in the workplace who, having completed their teacher training some years back, are less conversant with recent developments. We are seeking to create an easy to use resource which highlights the best of these ideas from the last 5 years. We would like to create this resource for each new approach being considered, in two forms: - a written explanatory guide of no more than 1000 words, with links to further reading. - a video (approximately 5 minutes) of a teacher explaining what the approach is and how they use it. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0dafad6-3c61-4c86-8ee8-2b7b0cff10d5 | | 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 Jan 2019 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Jan 2019 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | THE 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80210000 - Technical and vocational secondary education services - 80400000 - Adult and other education services - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80511000 - Staff training services - 80530000 - Vocational training services - 80531200 - Technical training services - 92111100 - Training-film and video-tape production ## Release History - 2 Jan 2019 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0dafad6-3c61-4c86-8ee8-2b7b0cff10d5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c0dafad6-3c61-4c86-8ee8-2b7b0cff10d5 2nd January 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN156227 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 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
