con_13716 - SAFE (Support, Attend, Fulfil, Exceed) Taskforce - RM6187 Management Consultancy (MCF3)

We require the provider to work with DfE to design a programme of support and training for the SAFE taskforces on commissioning of interventions and services to tackle serious violence and improve engagement in education, including:

• Training for the leads to improve their commissioning capability
• Courses on how to use evidence to support decision making
• Training on outcomes-based commissioning
• Local coaching for commissioning leads
• Training on how to use the voice of the community and ensure interventions are

suitable for their context

• Training on how to oversee and monitor commissioned services
• Any other types of training and support that the provider would recommend and DfE agrees is suitable.

The provider will then provide the training, support and advice to SAFE taskforces as required, from 11th April 2022 to 31 March 2025.

This is likely to include an initial period of intense training and support to the taskforces at the outset of the programme (April to December 2022) followed by ongoing support to taskforces as and when it is required.

The provider will also be required to work with our evaluators to provide context and information on commissioning within the local areas, and to give regular updates on their delivery against a set of KPIs which will be developed following an initial period of discussion with the provider about how they will provide the above support.
