Description
The Department for Education (DfE) intends to undertake an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to procure the services of experts to establish a Hubs Council for the English Hubs Network.
In December 2017, we announced funding for a network of English hubs as part of the DfE's Social Mobility Action Plan (SMAP), with a specific focus on improving early language and literacy teaching. DfE is seeking to establish a Hubs Council to offer strategic advice to the department on the scope and direction of the English Hubs Programme, as well as expert advice on the work of the Hubs Network Training Centre, including the content of the training programme.
The Council will comprise up to eight experts, with up to two (2) posts available for individuals with relevant experience and expertise in; early language, phonics, reading and/or writing. Two representatives from the active Hub School Network will also be appointed to the Council through a parallel process.
The total value available for individuals will be made clear during the procurement process but successful applicants will be paid for time taken to attend and prepare for meetings, with reasonable travel expenses reimbursed in line with departmental policy.
Additional information: DfE will administer the procurement process electronically via Contracts Finder. No hard copy documents will be issued; all communications with DfE (including EOI submission) will be conducted via Contract Finder.
Indicative dates for procurement: ⢠Mid-December 2018 - EOI opens ⢠Mid-January 2019 - EOI closes ⢠End February 2019 - indicative contract award.
The contract start and end dates are expected to be 1 March 2019 to 31 March 2020.
Please note that this Early Engagement is not a call to competition and the DfE is not bound to enter into any procurement activity because of it. With procurement being dependent on ministerial priorities, funding for the Hubs Council is subject to change at DfE's absolute discretion.
