Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education procured education and training services to draft a national curriculum programme of study or GCSE or A level subject content, using a format set by the Department. The work covers curriculum subject drafting rather than general teaching or training delivery. Delivery spans England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement was categorised as education and training services (CPV 80000000). It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, giving specialist education consultancies, subject experts and individual curriculum professionals a relevant route to this type of Department for Education work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 25 March 2026 at 5pm. The Department for Education awarded the contract to Professor Jeremy Hodgen (Individual) on 1 April 2026 for £25,000. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028. The procurement was for services, with the requirement evaluated through the framework call-off process. The award is active and covers the single curriculum-drafting requirement. The awarded contract has the same £25,000 value and period as the procurement, providing a defined engagement for drafting national curriculum, GCSE or A level subject content.

This award demonstrates demand from the Department for Education for specialist curriculum subject drafting over a multi-year engagement. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible expertise in developing curriculum programmes of study or GCSE and A level subject content, together with the ability to follow a prescribed Department for Education format. Strong subject knowledge, experience translating educational requirements into clear national specifications, and familiarity with the UK qualifications or school curriculum environment would be relevant capabilities. The opportunity also indicates that an individual expert or small specialist organisation can satisfy this type of requirement. Framework access and the ability to deliver structured drafting work across England would strengthen a competitor’s position when comparable requirements return.
