II.3) SHORT DESCRIPTION OF NATURE AND QUANTITY OR VALUE OF SUPPLIES OR
SERVICES: The raising attainment and aspiration project has been developed
by a range of regional partners, including Government office for Yorkshire
and The Humber and the Association of Directors of Children’s Services.
Funding has been provided for the project by YoHR Space, the Regional
Improvement and Efficiency Partnership. Bradford MDC has agreed to ‘host’
the project on behalf of partners.
The network is looking to appoint a suitably experienced organisation to
undertake a two year project (starting around May 2010) to create a
region-wide ‘evidence bank’ of high quality research, validated examples
of projects and programmes that have already been demonstrably successful
in improving attainment and aspiration across the 0 -19 age range and that
can act as a clearing house for improvement support.
The project will also involve the development of a web based access to
this evidence base so that local authorities, individual schools and
groups of schools across the region will be able to access practice
studies, materials, research and data. Advice and support will also be
developed on the most effective use of these materials.
Full details of the requirements of this service can be found in the
tender documents which will be available for download from the regional
e-tendering website at http://scms.alito.co.uk using the details which
