## Description

Award of call-off contracts made via the Framework Agreement for the National Roll-Out of the Early Career Framework to deliver the 2023 and 2024 cohorts of the Full Induction Programme\. For more details on the Early Career Framework please see https://www\.gov\.uk/government/publications/early-career-framework-reforms-overview/early-career-framework-reforms-overview Additional information: The award value is based on the total potential cumulative value awarded across both the 2023 and 2024 cohorts and the individual call-off contract values are dependent on performance against recruitment and retention milestones\. The call-off contract payment model includes an additional uplift fee for participants recruited from schools with at least 40% of their pupils eligible for Pupil Premium or in Local Authority Districts identified as in the top 20% most sparse in terms of schools per hectare\. The department reserves the right to increase the call-off contract values by up to 5% to incorporate any uplift payments in excess of the awarded value\. The department reserves the right to increase call-off contract values up to an additional 50% to fund additional participants where targeted recruitment is required to address recruitment shortfalls/cold-spots or evolving demand\. In such instances the department will issue a revised award notice to account for any increase to the award value\.
