In-class curriculum resources for Autumn Term are to be available for use by schools and teachers by 06 September 2021 and in-class curriculum resources for Spring and Summer Terms are to be available for use by schools and teachers by 03 January 2022. The initial contract term shall cover a short implementation period from contract award and the entirety of Academic Year 2021/22. The supplier will be expected to design, develop and deliver high-quality curriculum resources across a range of subject areas and key stages, using their curriculum and pedagogical expertise to support teachers with high-quality planning, a reduction in workload and effective implementation of the National Curriculum.

The Department expects that it may, during the initial contract term and/or a 12-month potential extension (if taken), have a requirement for further in-class curriculum resources in additional subject areas and key stages, which shall be reviewed. In-class curriculum resources shall include: * Key Stage, year and unit level overviews for each subject area. * Sequenced units and lessons, including a narrative and rationale for the sequencing. * Lesson slides, including appropriate content, formative assessment, independent tasks, stretching text, questioning and specialist vocabulary. * Accompanying workbooks and worksheets (or equivalent) for pupils, including stretching text. * Accompanying guidance for teachers on how to use the resources effectively (see section 4.10). * Accompanying optional homework, to consolidate prior knowledge and support appropriate pre-learning gaps, rather than introduce new content.
