Education and training services

Tender description

The Foundation is seeking a supplier to design, develop, recruit to, deliver and manage a middle managers programme for the further education and training sector, that is of the highest quality, provides significant benefits to individual participants and will show demonstrable impact on their institutions. The Foundation is seeking a supplier to design and deliver a middle manager programme. The needs of the middle management group are diverse. Each person has a variety of personal and professional requirements, so a personalised approach is required. It is common practice for staff to be employed straight into a teaching role, training to be a teacher whilst in the role. This group includes teachers and managers, thus a range of needs must be considered in designing and delivering the programme to ensure it is meaningful to personal and professional development, as well as being very work related and based on real live job requirements. The programme should be as practical as possible, emphasising the contextualised project work that will benefit the individual to develop their own personal skills and abilities and, at the same time benefiting the organisation and sector. Practice should be supported by theory and tools and materials that would benefit individuals in their work with others, namely their teams if they are a manager of people. The requirements are varied and complex, so a “1 size fits all” approach is not what we require. The key focus should be on a programme that is flexible, transferable, a modular and unitised scheme.
