# Attendance Mentoring - Pilot Project - Con_16121

Source: [Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/attendance-mentoring-pilot-project-con-16121-ocds-h6vhtk-0344e7). UK public procurement intelligence compiled from official UK procurement notices.

> **Notice summary:** The Department for Education (“Department”) awarded a supplier to deliver targeted, responsive, one-to-one support for persistently and severely absent pupils across a number of Education Investment Areas (EIA). The support will start in Middlesbrough, a priority EIA, in the first pilot year before rolling out to an additional four EIAs from the start of year two and continuing in all five areas in year three. Through the initial pilot year, the supplier along with an external evaluator, will be required to combine these approaches into a ‘mentoring’ model. The successful delivery partner will need to test and refine the approach during this period before expanding to the full trial in years two and three with a more defined intervention and evaluation.
