All current GDP modules will be made available to the successful tenderer. Tenderers can view some existing module scripts and training schedules for their reference in Annex D part 1 and part 2. We would like tenderers to propose how they would design sector-focussed, learning resources that support governors and governance professionals across different college settings. We are open to new ideas around delivery, course content and pedagogical approaches and expect tenderers to submit responses that are both evidence and research-led.
