The following message was sent by the DfE on 20th March 2019:
Dear colleague,
I am writing to let you know that a Prior Information Notice (PIN) which notifies the market of the DfE’s intention to commence procurement for implementation of the Early Career Framework has been launched. The PIN provides additional information of what we are procuring, key dates and where you can register to bid. That PIN can be found here.
Market Engagement Events will also be taking place, to provide an opportunity for interested organisations to gain a better understanding of the planned procurement. The dates are as follows:
2 April at 11:00-13:00 in Darlington;
2 April at 14:00-16:00 in Darlington; and
4 April at 13:00-15:00 in Manchester.
To register your interest in attending, please follow this link.
Additionally, you can find more information about the Early Career Framework here.
Many thanks
