Fenland and East Cambridgeshire Priority Area Grant

The Department of Education are holding a virtual Market Engagement Event Roundtable roundtable in which we will informally present our early thoughts on a grant specification for the next phase of work in the Fenland and East Cambridgeshire Priority Area programme. For the academic year '23/'24 and up until March 2025, this will be to acquire a Provider to:

- in collaboration with the Department for Education, steer the local programme, using educational expertise and track record of improvement to ensure the programme is impactful in relation to the identified priorities. - for each supported school, to ensure implementation aligns to the Theory of Change developed in Phase 1 (March to July 2023), working with identified partners. - oversee and administer the operations of the programme, including administering grants to schools, and/or procuring interventions where required.

We will answer questions and take feedback on our Specification to further shape the work before any potential procurement activity, which will also be advertised on Find a Grant.

We will run this virtually/on-line on Tuesday 18th April 3-5pm. Please access Jaggaer and respond to ssq_375 to let us know if you would like to attend. We will aim to send an early draft of the Specification for this work before the Event.
