Description

See 'Attachments' for full description.

The National College of Teaching and Leadership (NCTL), on behalf of the Department for Education (DfE), wish to commission a framework agreement to enable the provision of services for the recruitment of teachers or the pipeline thereof from outside of England, along with bespoke packages of acclimatisation and development.
Improvements in the economy, a shrinking graduate pool and greater competition in the labour market will make it more difficult for the education system to meet the demand for additional teachers domestically. Therefore, NCTL are inviting tenders from providers who can evidence the relevant knowledge and experience of international teacher recruitment and/or supporting the transition and development of overseas teachers, including but not be limited to; a knowledge of the English education system and curriculum; relevant workforce knowledge; and previous experience of operating within, or supporting individuals from, overseas markets.
The duration of the framework will initially be for 2 years with the option to extend for further period, or periods, of up to 2 years, making the maximum duration 4 years.
The framework will have 3 separate lots and the number of suppliers to be appointed to the framework will be 6 suppliers per lot.
