Description
DfE has previously published its commitments to Further Education (FE) providers in the Skills for Jobs: Lifelong Learning for Opportunity and Growth White Paper. The paper identifies a need to ensure all FE providers are well managed, governed and have the best quality teachers and lecturers. In doing so, we will ensure that post-16 further education students have access to world-class technical and vocational education, providing the skills both individuals and employers need for the future economy.
Achieving a level 2 qualification in both maths and English, through GCSE or Functional Skills Qualifications (FSQs), helps students to progress to further study, training and skilled employment. The maths and English Condition of Funding ('resit' policy) ensures that all 16 to 19-year-olds have the best chance of achieving this standard and get the necessary support to do so.
DfE is committed to this policy and therefore it is important that teachers in Further Education providers have access to the best development which focuses on the skills needed to help resit learners achieve their potential.
The DfE is seeking feedback from the market so it can understand market interest and capacity to deliver English Level 2 'resit' CPD, on a national or regional basis, before defining its finalising its next steps for any grant award / competitive process.
Additional information: Interested organisations should register on the DfE's e-procurement tool, Jaggaer. Please register for an account at https://education.app.jaggaer.com/ and search for Project_8211, SSQ_398 under "current opportunities".
The DfE asks that interested organisations complete a short survey by 13:00 on 14 July 2023. Please complete the response form within Project_8211, SSQ_398.
DfE is holding an early supplier engagement webinar via Microsoft Teams at 13:00 on 12 July 2023 which will run for approximately 30-45 minutes. The purpose of the webinar is to provide further information about the policy objectives and initial considerations about a potential competitive process, to help inform interest organisation responses to the survey. If your organisation is interested in attending the webinar, please express an interest via the Jaggaer message board in Project_8211 by 14:00 on 11 July 2023.
Please note, organisations do not need to attend the webinar to complete the survey.
