two.1.4) Short description
The Department is seeking to appoint a Contractor under a framework agreement to establish and operate an institute of teaching (the "Institute"). This Institute will become England's flagship teacher and leader development provider, exemplifying delivery of Initial Teacher Training (ITT), the Early Career Framework (ECF), National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) and the National Leaders of Education (NLE) development programme. The Institute will also support other organisations to understand and implement best practice and evidence in teacher development delivery.
The Framework Agreement will commence on or around 18/02/2022 and last for a duration of 6 years; the Department being satisfied that there are exceptional circumstances related to new and unique nature of the Institute that justify this duration.
The Department anticipates awarding a number of Call-off Contracts under the Framework Agreement first for Establishment and Mobilisation and of the Institute and ITT requirements and thereafter for other Services as set out above. The Call-off Contracts may vary in duration but may last up to 36 months. The Call-off Contracts may be extended, wholly at the Department’s discretion, to a maximum period of not more than a duration equal to their original terms.
