Flexible Working Programme May 2022 Early Market Engagement

The purpose of this early Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to notify the market of a forthcoming market engagement event relating to the Department’s programme to support Flexible Working in schools. It is not a call for competition.

This PIN is intended to inform the market of an opportunity to help shape the future delivery of the Flexible Working programme, ahead of a possible procurement.

We will be undertaking an online event on 19 May 2022. This event is anticipated to last approximately 1.5 hours. The market engagement event is an opportunity to shape the core responsibilities and delivery offer of the Department’s future programme ahead of possible future procurement.

In particular, the Department is looking for respondents to:

Comment on the feasibility of the proposed delivery model

Share comments or learning on alternative delivery solutions

Attendees will be invited to respond in full to a post-event questionnaire. The market engagement event and the questionnaire document form part of the Department's initial market research in which we are seeking information from a range of providers to inform any future approach and delivery.
