The deadline for bid submissions is 10th May 2018, with the contract period scheduled to commence on 22nd June 2018 and concluding on 21st May 2019.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to engage in innovative approaches aimed at enhancing school-parent communications.
