Description

The Department for Education (DfE) has conducted a competitive procurement exercise to secure a supplier to deliver a programme of continuous professional development to support effective leadership and governance within the Further Education (FE) sector.

Total Quantity or Scope

The DfE has previously published its commitments to Further Education (FE) providers (which includes colleges and other institutions within the statutory FE sector, and other 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. The White Paper can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skills-for-jobs-lifelong-learning-for... In securing a supplier to deliver a programme of continuous professional development to support effective leadership and governance within the FE sector, the key outcomes of the DfE aims are: to strengthen leadership (middle managers to Chief Executive Officer) and governance capacity and capability; support the growth of diverse executive and governance leadership pipelines; minimise risks related to the delivery of the Skills for Jobs White Paper and skills reform; and aid the development of a self-improving sector.
