PME Erasmus

Description

This is not a call for competition. The London Borough of Croydon is undertaking preliminary market engagement in relation to the potential commissioning of an Erasmus+ teacher/educator training and international mobility programme for Croydon schools. The Council is seeking expressions of interest only from organisations with demonstrable previous experience of managing and delivering Erasmus+ projects and international education mobility programmes on behalf of schools or public-sector organisations. The appointed provider would be expected to provide end-to-end programme management, including: • Previous experience of successfully managing and delivering Erasmus+ projects, including details of the number and type of projects delivered • Management and coordination of international teacher training, CPD and school visits across European destinations, with destinations to be confirmed • Organisation and management of participant travel, accommodation, and associated logistics • Support with participant recruitment and selection, including ensuring appropriate eligibility and allocation processes • Management of Erasmus+ grant administration, financial monitoring, evidence, and reporting requirements • Support for safeguarding, risk management and participant welfare throughout the programme • Delivery or commissioning of high-quality teacher CPD and training aligned to the agreed programme objectives • Development and implementation of programme evaluation, impact measurement, and outcomes reporting • Monitoring and reporting on participant outcomes and the wider impact of the programme on participating schools; and • Effective stakeholder management and communication with the Council, schools, training providers, and international partners. The programme is intended to support Croydon schools in developing practice in areas including inclusion and SEND, digital and AI-enabled education, wellbeing, sustainability, innovation, and oracy/communication-rich learning, aligned with relevant Erasmus+ priorities. Providers should only register an interest where they can demonstrate the relevant specialist experience, capacity, international networks and organisational infrastructure required to manage an Erasmus+ mobility programme from participant selection through to final evaluation and grant reporting. Registering your interest Providers wishing to participate must register their interest through the correspondence area no later than 21 September 2026 Please complete the sections provided in the document attached and return via the messaging area on the inTend Portal: Following the registration deadline, the Council will review responses and may engage with organisations whose experience and capabilities align with the requirements.
