We have actively engaged on the Future High Potential Initial Teacher Training (HPITT) Programme for over a year and are excited by the opportunity to deliver a transformed service. It is our intention to pursue the tender as a prime provider and create a collaborative delivery partner network to best meet the DfE's requirements and deliver positive outcomes for schools, candidates and students. In preparation for further collaborative discussions, we invite ITT providers to express an interest in working alongside Serco. The expression of interest will provide an opportunity for your organisation to demonstrate capability, appetite and experience in relation to the Future HPITT Programme. The HPITT opportunity sits within the context of challenging ITT recruitment performance which has consistently been below targets for over 5 years and a new labour government that has publicly pledged to recruit an additional 6,500 teachers into our schools during this parliament. We anticipate a number of changes from the intended procurement in 2024 that aligns to the governments overarching 'Opportunity Mission'. We strongly feel this contract has a unique opportunity to unlock better outcomes and futures for younger people within disadvantaged communities across the country and deliver on the governments wider focus on facilitating social mobility, providing equal opportunity for all. In doing so, directly contributing to creating the people and workforces of the future and the next generation of school leaders, supporting individual school needs and strengthening regional networks. Our vision is therefore to leverage our multinational, cross-sector experience as a service integrator and employer of over 50,000 staff to compliment market-leading ITT providers by providing agile and robust solutions to attract, recruit and manage a consistent flow of high-potential participants, aligned to priority subjects. Together, as a collection of ambitious expert partners within our disciplines, we are excited to design and deliver the next iteration of this contract.
