The tender offers numerous CPD activities for various practitioners, underpinning its classification under Education and training services. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in educational services, particularly those specialising in professional development and training. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find themselves well-positioned to compete for this contract, as it seeks to engage providers who can deliver impactful training and support for advanced practitioners throughout England. Companies with expertise in developing tailored CPD programmes or those with strong connections to the Further Education sector may benefit the most from this opportunity. ## Notice This tender relates to the programme: Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for advanced practitioners in the Further Education and Training sector. The roles of advanced practitioners (APs) in this context are diverse but "are commonly described as a peer-to-peer support structure where (mostly) active practising teachers or tutors provide advice and guidance focused on improving teaching, learning and assessment" (Tyler et al, 2017, p. 2). This programme offers a range of CPD activities for aspiring advanced practitioners, those in advanced practitioner roles (or advanced practitioner-type roles) and experienced advanced practitioners (for example, alumni of the Education and Training Foundation (ETF) advanced practitioner programme or Advanced Teacher Status - ATS). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6fcd6ee-346e-4023-a640-899aaaabefe1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 May 2020 | | Submission deadline | 8 Jun 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 29 Jun 2020 - 25 Mar 2021 | | 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 ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 11 May 2020 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6fcd6ee-346e-4023-a640-899aaaabefe1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6fcd6ee-346e-4023-a640-899aaaabefe1 11th May 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY159768 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.
