This tender, classified under education and training services, is currently in the Tender stage and was published on 15 December 2016. The deadline for submissions is 12 January 2017, with a contract period expected to run from 3 February 2017 to 31 July 2017. The total budget for this procurement is £325,000 and the process follows an open procedure. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those focused on adult and vocational training. Companies that offer course design, facilitation, and training resources, as well as those that develop online learning materials, will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Smaller enterprises and voluntary community sector entities, which are encouraged to participate, can leverage this opportunity to grow their client base and contribute to the delivery of essential ICT skills within the FE sector. ## Notice The primary aim of the programme is to develop the FE workforce and ensure they are capable of delivering Information Computing Technology (ICT) at level 2. We wish to upskill teachers/tutors in FE to enable them to have the skills to deliver ICT functional skills at level 2 and similar qualifications. Through this Invitation to Tender we are looking to contract with a supplier or suppliers to design, pilot and rollout a series of courses and workshops that combined with the online modules, being separately developed, provide a blended learning experience to help practitioners further develop and apply their digital skills. In addition, we also want to have professional development leads trained in the use of the material developed and a facilitator pack produced for use by these leads. There will also be a series of events and awareness raising activities to draw users to the online modules and follow up workshops. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2543412-25a7-4010-9520-aca3fda06265 | | 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 | 15 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Feb 2017 - 31 Jul 2017 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £325,000 | | 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 | 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 - 80400000 - Adult and other education services ## Release History - 15 Dec 2016 at 09:03 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2543412-25a7-4010-9520-aca3fda06265 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c2543412-25a7-4010-9520-aca3fda06265 15th December 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC136110 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.
