Building on lessons learnt during the pilot phases, we are seeking to find an organisation with the capacity to deliver an Exchange that is flexible and works to support local practitioner needs, whilst also following the outline within this document. This ITT is open to all organisations, whether current Professional Exchange contract holders or new providers. The Foundation is actively seeking to encourage new partners to engage and work with, in particular to support thematic work where partner organisations have expertise or national coverage. We are therefore keen to receive tenders from, for example: - current Professional Exchange contract holders - new tenderers working in localised areas (e.g. city / county wide settings) - new tenderers working on national / multiple region settings to support specialist delivery (e.g. SEND, Subject specific delivery) ## CPV classification Education and training services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/c4f4ba36-4bb8-4cf4-a583-c2813d46a31b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
