Description

The Department for Education (DfE) is responsible for children's services and education, including early years, schools, higher and further education policy, apprenticeships and wider skills in England.
The Department is exploring potential options to support the formation of a school centred initial teacher training (SCITT) provider with national reach specialising in the recruitment and delivery of computing teacher training.

We are interested in hearing from: organisations with the relevant expertise and capacity to deliver a national computing SCITT programme; organisations who would be interested in working as a delivery partner as part of a wider consortia/subcontracting model; and interested parties who would like to input to the development of the programme, as our intention is to consider a range of options to ultimately design a unique and high quality school led offer in this priority subject with a targeted national reach.

At this stage, the design and delivery model for this opportunity is under consideration. The Department is not committing to undertake any formal commissioning activity resulting from this notice although we may use the information gathered via this process to support any future commercial activity.
