Description

Following the pilot delivery of Professional Exchanges in 2016/17 and the commissioning of Exchanges for 2017/2018 and onwards, the Foundation is seeking to commission an Exchange that covers the West Midlands region. Building on lessons learnt during the pilot phases, we are seeking to find an organisation with the capacity to deliver an Exchange that is flexible and works to support local practitioner needs, whilst also following the outline within this document.
This ITT is open to all organisations, whether current Professional Exchange contract holders or new providers. The Foundation is actively seeking to encourage new partners to engage and work with, in particular to support thematic work where partner organisations have expertise or national coverage.
We are therefore keen to receive tenders from, for example:
- current Professional Exchange contract holders
- new tenderers working in localised areas (e.g. city / county wide settings)
- new tenderers working on national / multiple region settings to support specialist delivery (e.g. SEND, Subject specific delivery)
Please ensure any tender response meets the delivery and financial expectations set out in this ITT.
Note: the West Midlands area is expected to include Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands (the metropolitan county) and Warwickshire .
