    Brief

    The Department for Education is seeking a lead supplier or supplier consortium to deliver the next phase of the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE). This is a comprehensive programme aimed at improving computing education across England's schools through multiple integrated services. The successful supplier will design and deliver: a national computing continuing professional development (CPD) offer for teachers and school leaders; targeted support to improve student participation and close attainment gaps; activities to prepare schools for curriculum and qualification reforms; stakeholder engagement and communications; monitoring and evaluation services; and associated digital and programme management. Delivery will primarily be online through scalable digital provision, with targeted face-to-face interventions where needed. This is a significant opportunity for an experienced supplier to shape the future of computing education and teacher capability at a national level. The Department is hosting a market engagement event to brief potential suppliers on procurement requirements, timescales, and approach, and to gather feedback to inform the final procurement strategy.
