This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on coaching services and corporate governance rating. The tender, which is part of an open procurement process, is actively soliciting responses until the deadline on 25th October 2019. The contract is anticipated to commence on 8th November 2019 and will run until 31st March 2020, with opportunities available across various regions in the United Kingdom including London, North East, and South East. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in coaching, diversity training, and corporate consultancy, particularly those that can contribute to creating a more equitable workplace. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, either individually or as part of a consortium, to help address the challenges faced by diverse leaders. The successful implementation of this programme could catalyse growth by fostering inclusion at the leadership level, ultimately reshaping the educational landscape in the further education sector. ## Notice The Education and Training Foundation (ETF) are seeking a tenderer to implement the Diversity in Leadership Programme. The aim of this programme is to challenge bias, remove obstacles to achieving leadership roles and to use tools such as coaching to motivate and build confidence in aspiring leaders across the sector so they can develop sufficient leadership capacity to achieve senior leadership roles. The impact of having an increased number of diverse leaders within the sector would encourage growth, bringing in new and relevant skills and experiences and reflect the growing diversity of the learning community in the FE Sector. The successful tenderer would be expected to assess the current diversity landscape across the sector and utilise this information to inform their work in regard to developing a Diversity in Leadership Programme. Through this programme, we would like potential leaders that aspire to progress along the leadership pipeline to do so without bias against their ethnicity, gender, sexuality and physical ability. It is anticipated all FE sector organisations will engage in and sign up to a charter developed as part of this work that pledges their positive drive to support the diverse workforce at all levels of leadership and management. We would like to see the FE Sector address the challenges that the diverse workforce faces in being able to progress into senior leadership roles and create an environment and culture of tolerance, acceptance and celebration of diversity and be a catalyst for change. Tenderers can either submit a response individually or through a consortium of partners that can collaborate to deliver the strands of the Diversity in Leadership programme. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a81e695-47e0-4ecd-b5bf-806c32d7ced8 | | 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 | 10 Oct 2019 | | Submission deadline | 25 Oct 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Nov 2019 - 31 Mar 2020 | | 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 - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79212110 - Corporate governance rating services - 79998000 - Coaching services ## Release History - 10 Oct 2019 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a81e695-47e0-4ecd-b5bf-806c32d7ced8 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6a81e695-47e0-4ecd-b5bf-806c32d7ced8 10th October 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT158391 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.
