The National College of Teaching and Leadership \(NCTL\) is seeking to tender a contract to provide 'acclimatisation' support and services to include, for example, international qualified teachers \(up to a maximum of 250\), re-locating to take up posts in English schools in the academic year 2017/18\. We anticipate that we will be in a position to provide greater clarification on the numbers requiring these services in mid-May 2017\.
