## Summary

The Department for Education has awarded a contract for the "Con_21154 - International Green Skills Conference" to Times Higher Education. The conference aims to accelerate the provision of green skills training and career pathways to support the transition to net zero and restore biodiversity. The contract, valued at £99,995 GBP, was procured using direct procurement with a single tender action and involves seminar organisation services. The event will take place in London and is part of the services category. The contract period is from March 21, 2023, to November 20, 2023, with the tender period ending on March 1, 2023.

This awarded tender presents opportunities for businesses, especially those in the seminar organisation and event services sector, to engage in sustainable education initiatives. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would find this tender particularly suitable, given its focus on green skills and sustainability. Businesses interested in contributing to the green economy and fostering partnerships with education and policy sectors should consider participating in similar future procurements led by the Department for Education.

## Notice

In April 2022, DfE published its flagship Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy for the education and children's services systems. Alongside action on education infrastructure and estates, the strategy sets out actions to equip children, young people, and adult learners with the knowledge and skills to contribute to the green economy. The International Green Skills Conference is an explicit commitment in this public strategy. It will bring together leaders from the further and higher education sectors, business, young people, adult learners and policymakers in the UK and internationally. It will provide the opportunity for these groups to build partnerships and accelerate the provision of green skills training and the update of green career pathways in support of the transition to net zero and the restoration of biodiversity.
