Tender description

See 'Attachments' for further information. The Department for Education (DfE) intends to undertake a procurement exercise to establish a Centre of Excellence for Literacy Teaching and a network of English Hubs. In December 2017, the Secretary of State for Education announced funding for a network of English Hubs as part of the Social Mobility Action Plan, to improve early language and literacy teaching. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/plan-to-boost-social-mobility-through-education DfE will be seeking proposals from organisations or consortia to establish a Centre of Excellence. We envisage that the Centre of Excellence will manage a network of 35 English Hubs and will facilitate good practice in early language and literacy teaching. DfE is engaging with interested providers to advise them of a change to the intended procurement process and to update them on the English Hubs Programme.
