There is an opportunity for networks to provide peer to peer support for the current change programmes. The Ministry will be commencing an open-market request for proposals (RFP) process to source networks for 2024 onwards. All government tenders are posted on the Government Electronic Tender Service (GETS) to promote open, fair competition in the New Zealand government market. If your organisation is interested in submitting a proposal when the RFP opens, please ensure that you are registered on GETS and set up to receive notifications for opportunities in the education space.
We would like to share an update regarding the release of the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Networks of Expertise to support peer-to-peer learning through PLD.
Further to our updates of 6 December and 31 January, the timing of the 2024 NEX RFP has been changed, allowing Te Poutāhū to align its work programme with Government priorities, such as ‘Teaching the Basics Brilliantly’ and the ‘Literacy Guarantee’.
The exact timing of the RFP has not yet been confirmed. Further advice will be forthcoming.
In the meantime, Te Poutāhū has further extended the existing NEX funding agreements and Kahu Pūtoi funding agreements until 30 June 2024.
This ensures continuity of support for teachers and kaiako.
All documentation related to the RFP will be published on GETS when the tender opportunity is live. The instructions on how to apply, the requirements, and response forms to complete will be included in the GETS listing.
