This procurement is in the planning stage, with a preliminary market engagement notice recently published on 29 July 2026. A virtual market engagement event is scheduled for 12 August 2026, to facilitate potential bidders' understanding and participation. This procurement involves two separate contracts, namely the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP), each with an initial three-year term, extendable by up to two additional one-year periods. The contract period is set to begin on 1 April 2027 and end by 31 August 2030, with extensions possible up to 2032. The estimated contract value is £45.12 million, underscoring the project's significance and impact. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in educational services, particularly those specialising in mathematics education and teacher development. Companies with expertise in delivering large-scale professional development programmes and those experienced in collaborating with educational partnerships like Maths Hubs stand to benefit from participating in this procurement process. The initiative's focus on both pre-16 mathematics education and advanced mathematics education for further education presents a wide reach for service providers aiming to support educational improvement and access. Given the extensive duration and potential for renewal, successful bidders will not only gain financial growth but will also play a pivotal role in shaping the future of mathematics education across the UK. ## Notice The Department for Education is the lead department for the Government's mission to break down the barriers to opportunity. In practice, this means breaking the link between young people's background and their chance of success. Every child and young person, regardless of their background, must be able to achieve at school to develop the knowledge and skills they need for life. That means improving attainment across the board, particularly for disadvantaged children by driving up school standards and support with excellent teachers and leaders who develop and adopt best practice. The aim of our Mathematics programs is that every student, no matter what challenges they face, should have access to an excellent mathematics education that prepares them for life in the modern world. This procurement opportunity will build on the work of the current contracts National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) and the Advanced Mathematics Support Programme (AMSP) which include: * working in partnership with Maths Hubs to support improvements in pre-16 mathematics education with Teaching for Mastery (TfM) at its core and with changes to the new curriculum, * delivering support for AS/A level maths, further maths and core maths qualifications, * supporting students to choose mathematics study in Further Education. The procurement will comprise two separate contracts: NCETM and AMSP. The estimated value stated in this notice covers both contracts. Each contract will have an initial term of three years, with the option to extend for up to two additional periods of 12 months each. A transition period will apply: NCETM - 01/04/2027 to 31/08/2027; AMSP - 01/04/2027 - 31/07/2027. ### Planning Information The market engagement event will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams on 12 August 2026 at 4:00 pm.
