Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education commissioned education and training services through its Tackling Antisemitism in Education Innovation Fund. The programme supports initiatives that help learners recognise and challenge antisemitism, assess online content critically, practise respectful and tolerant dialogue, and understand Jewish identity and lived experience. The funded work covers schools, colleges and higher education settings, including Catholic secondary schools and university campuses. Activities include simulated social media learning, mixed-media projects in multifaith groups, a touring theatre production with school workshops, classroom teaching and student fellowships. Delivery covers England across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement is categorised as services, with suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an other competitive grant process. Bids closed on 16 March 2026 at 1pm. The awarded programme value is £1,000,000. Four organisations were selected: Someone Else’s Eyes received £500,000 for a four-stage programme for learners aged 16 and over; Collingwood Learning with Holocaust Centre North received £200,000 for a touring theatre production and workshops; the Board of Deputies of British Jews received £100,000 for a Catholic secondary-school programme; and NUS Charity received £200,000 for a higher-education student fellowship programme. The award date was 20 July 2026, and the contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award shows demand from the Department for Education for practical, evidence-led programmes addressing antisemitism across different education settings. Credible future suppliers would need strong expertise in safeguarding, education delivery and antisemitism awareness, with the ability to translate sensitive subject matter into age-appropriate learning. Relevant capability includes digital and media literacy, facilitation of respectful dialogue, interfaith and intercultural work, and understanding Jewish identity and lived experience. The requirement also favours organisations able to work with schools, colleges or universities, develop engaging resources, and deliver workshops, theatre or fellowship-based activity. National or multi-region delivery experience, partnerships with specialist community or cultural organisations, and the capacity to support measurable learner and institutional outcomes would strengthen a competing offer.
