UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

***This is not a tender exercise*** The Education Authority Northern Ireland (EANI) would like to invite participation in a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to seek the views of the market for the provision of Occupational Health Services. The purpose of this PME exercise is for EANI to gain an understanding of the current market and will be used to assist EANI in gaining a better understanding of the feasibility of the requirements, the most appropriate procurement and operational approach, the capacity of the market to deliver the requirements and an opportunity for the market to highlight any possible risks or issues. This PME exercise also seeks to identify indicative costs to help inform the business case on the commercial aspects for the delivery and implementation of solution(s). For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase of the project and is not part of any formal procurement process and there is no commitment at this stage to carry out such a process. Any information gathered will not be considered in any future tender exercise. Please note that participation or non-participation in this PME exercise shall not prevent any supplier from participating in any future procurement process, nor is it intended that any information provided shall place any supplier at an advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement exercise. Further information including the questionnaire can be downloaded from the documents section of the CfT on eTendersNI.

The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) intends to procure mulitple external legal services to support the investigation, preparation and presentation of teacher misconduct cases, building on the model used under current Presenting Officer (PO) contracts. These services include undertaking proportionate investigations, preparing case documentation for Case to Answer decisions and Professional Conduct Panel (PCP) hearings, and presenting cases at hearings on behalf of the TRA. The TRA will conduct early market engagement to present our high level approach to the future service model and ensure suppliers have clarity ahead of formal procurement. These sessions will allow us to explore practical considerations, understand market capacity and incorporate sector insight into refining the delivery model. After the event, suppliers will be invited to complete a questionnaire to provide feedback that will support the TRA’s development of its service model. This procurement will therefore establish a resilient, flexible legal services arrangement capable of meeting both current statutory obligations and the wider future scope of the Teacher Misconduct regime. *Please be aware that registration is for the Market Engagement Event only. This event does not signify the commencement of any procurement process and does not constitute any commitment by the Department for Education. This is NOT an invitation to tender for a contract opportunity and any suppliers invited to the event will not have a privileged position in relation to any future contract opportunity. Any subsequent procurement(s) that DfE conducts will be based on the fair and objective outcome of a procurement process.* The DfE is keen to maximise opportunities to participate in procurement for Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs). Consideration will also be given to consortia and collaborative bids from all forms of organisations.

The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) intends to procure external legal adviser services to support the lawful, fair and efficient operation of Professional Conduct Panel (PCP) hearings. These services will build on the model used under the current Legal Adviser (LA) contracts and will ensure panels receive independent, high quality legal advice throughout the misconduct hearing process. Legal advisers provide essential and impartial advice to PCPs on matters of law, mixed questions of law and fact, procedure, precedent, and any other issues relevant to the case before the panel. They also draft the panel’s written findings of fact, announced decision, and final decision document, ensuring these are clear, legally sound and fully compliant with the Teachers’ Disciplinary (England) Regulations 2012 and TRA’s published guidance. The TRA will conduct early market engagement to present our high level approach to the future service model and ensure suppliers have clarity ahead of the formal procurement. These sessions will provide an opportunity to explore practical aspects of delivering legally compliant hearings, understand market capacity and discuss how suppliers can support resilience and consistency across panels. After the event, suppliers will be invited to complete a questionnaire to provide feedback that will support the TRA’s development of its service model. The resulting procurement will therefore establish a resilient, high quality legal adviser service capable of supporting the current statutory framework and the future expansion of the Teacher Misconduct regime. The TRA will work closely with contracted suppliers to maintain high standards of legal accuracy, consistency in decision making and operational stability across all panel hearings. *Please be aware that registration is for the Market Engagement Event only.
