Description

The purpose of the Future Talent Fund (Fund) is to test and evaluate 'what works' to support the Most Able, Disadvantaged pupils in non-selective, state-funded secondary schools in England to fulfil their potential. The Fund will build an evidence base of good practice for this cohort, identifying clear delivery mechanisms for provision and encouraging more evidence-led led interventions, including interventions that could be funded by schools using their Pupil Premium funding.

This procurement is to appoint a Fund Manager who will manage the Fund. This procurement is being carried out in accordance with the open procedure as set out in the Regulations.
UPDATE: 5 SEPTEMBER 2018
The Secretary of State has taken the difficult decision to cancel the FT Fund to divert funding to other Departmental priorities.
