Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education recently completed the "Tackling Antisemitism in Education Innovation Fund - Competitive Grant" procurement process, awarding £1,000,000 through a competitive grant process. This initiative falls under the education and training services category and aims to support programmes addressing antisemitism within educational settings across England. The procurement process advanced from an initial tender period, with its contract period set from 20th July 2026 to 31st March 2027. Projects were awarded to four organisations: Someone Else's Eyes, Collingwood Learning with Holocaust Centre North, Board of Deputies of British Jews, and NUS Charity. These efforts are to be implemented across various regions, including the North East, North West, and London.

This grant presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations experienced in educational services, theatre production, and cultural and interfaith dialogue initiatives. The suitability criteria emphasized small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), making this an attractive prospect for businesses in these sectors. Successful bidders who thrive in delivering impactful programmes that engage diverse audiences and promote cultural understanding could greatly benefit from participation in similar future initiatives.
