About

Department for Education awarded a contract to Peridot Partners Limited for the Further Education Colleges Governor Recruitment Services Pilot, aimed at testing the effectiveness of bespoke governor recruitment services for FE college governing boards.

The pilot sought to increase board capacity for effective leadership by providing free recruitment services, with referrals made via the Education and Skills Funding Agency or the Further Education Commissioner Team.

Expected outputs included a minimum of 30 successful appointments to key voluntary governor positions (such as Chairs, Deputy Chairs, and Finance or Audit committee chairs), ongoing support and development for appointees, a pool of at least 10 qualified candidates for short-notice interim appointments, and a short evaluation report.

The contract value was $104,998.8, with funding available from April 2020 to March 2021.
