Summary of the contracting process

Oak National Academy Limited is procuring a full curriculum package for the Reception year of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), classified as primary education services. The package is intended to support teaching and learning for Reception pupils through a complete curriculum offer, including digital curriculum resources and video content featuring teachers and children. The buyer is based in Manchester, and delivery is stated to cover the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns education-sector curriculum design and provision rather than general teaching staffing, construction or standard school supplies. It will suit organisations that develop and deliver structured EYFS curriculum products for schools, with the capability to provide supporting digital artefacts and inclusive educational video materials.

The procurement has reached the award stage following a completed open procedure. Three bids reached the final stage, including two from SMEs. Study Mind Limited was selected for the single lot on 24 July 2026, with an awarded value of £383,542 gross £460,250. The estimated procurement value was £575,000 excluding VAT, or £690,000 gross. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2027, with two possible 12-month renewals extending the award period to 31 August 2029. A standstill period ends on 12 August 2026, and signature is scheduled for 31 August 2026. Evaluation combined quality and price, with quality covering alignment, impact, resources, staffing, videos and social value; lowest price received most marks.

This award demonstrates demand from Oak National Academy for a complete, commercially developed Reception-year EYFS curriculum rather than isolated teaching materials. A credible future competitor would need a clearly articulated EYFS approach aligned with Oak’s phase principles and the statutory EYFS Framework, showing appropriate progression and child development. Evidence from real educational settings would be important, including practitioner feedback, usage data or independent validation of impact. Suppliers would also need up to three strong digital curriculum artefacts, experienced delivery personnel and the ability to produce videos representing a diverse and inclusive range of teachers and children. Relevant social-value proposals supporting economic growth and reducing barriers to opportunity would strengthen a future response, alongside competitive pricing.
