THIS IS A CONTRACT OPPORTUNITY The Department is seeking to appoint one or more Prime Supplier(s) as part of the Tackling Antisemitism in Education (TAE) Programme, from FY24-25 to FY26-27. Aims / Outcomes The aim of the TAE programme is to support schools, colleges, and universities to tackle antisemitism effectively by: Increasing understanding of antisemitism amongst staff and learners Increasing staff ability to identify and tackle incidents of antisemitism Providing schools and colleges with the skills and necessary tools for institutions to improve policies and processes to facilitate organisational cultural change to better identify and deal with instances of antisemitism Providing education staff with the necessary tools to hold and facilitate discussions on the historic and current conflicts and tackling disinformation. Additional information: The procurement is split into two distinct lots: Lot 1 - Developing and implementing a programme of initiatives aimed at tackling antisemitism in universities.
