The tender focuses on assessment centre services for recruitment and encompasses various UK regions including London, the North East, and the South West. Key deadline for engagement feedback is set for 21 January 2019, and interested suppliers are encouraged to review attached documents for further details about service requirements and procurement expectations. This opportunity holds significant potential for businesses, particularly those in consultancy, coaching, and educational services, to provide innovative solutions that align with the DfE’s commitment to diversifying the teaching workforce. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find this tender especially suitable, as they can leverage their unique approaches to support the Coaching Pledge's objectives, ultimately driving their business growth through participation in this impactful initiative. ## Notice The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to engage with the market with a view to shape the procurement of support for the Women Leading in Education (WLE) Coaching Pledge activity. This is in preparation to commence procurement in late 2018. The Department for Education (DfE) recognises the importance of a diverse teaching workforce and so the DfE is committed to addressing the issue of underrepresentation in the teaching workforce. The aim of the Coaching Pledge, launched in March 2016, is to support the progression of women teachers into leadership. We would like to test the level of interest from potential suppliers in delivering one or both of the following delivery service requirements. The first requirement would involve the supplier providing a service linked to market and promotion of the Coaching Pledge. Coaches (male and female leaders from all backgrounds) volunteer to complete an on-line profile with details hosted on a central data-base/directory. The second would involve a supplier additionally delivering the management of the on-line database, which is currently hosted/managed by the Teaching Schools Council (TSC).
