II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The Education and Training Foundation awarded a contract for Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment Phase 5.
The foundation identified several key problems around progress that impacted on learner outcomes across the sector. Collaborative projects used these problems as a starting point, honing and contextualising them for their own setting and learners, asking themselves the questions, “Does this issue apply to my context?” and “What evidence do I have that is the case?”. In some instances they were able to address more than one problem given their interconnectivity. Projects identified a clear way in which they planned to address their problem, drawing on research. Collaborative projects were not used as a vehicle to implement organisation wide systems or software platforms.
