This active tender is conducted through an open procurement method, with a total available budget of £20,000. The submission deadline for bids is set for 29 November 2019. Successful partnerships must include at least two schools or higher education providers and one institution from a different educational sector. The anticipated contract period begins on 15 January 2020 and concludes on 30 September 2022. This opportunity provides a pathway for educational institutions, particularly those positioned to form partnerships across different types of schools and higher education providers, to secure funding for innovative projects. Schools and educational institutions that can demonstrate collaborative efforts and engagement with diverse educational sectors would be ideally suited to compete for this tender. The collaborative approach not only encourages the sharing of resources but also aims to foster cross-sector engagement, presenting a unique chance for business growth within the education services arena. ## Notice This programme is open to all schools (state-funded or independent), higher education, and further education providers in England. In order to bid, partnerships must involve a minimum of two schools/higher education providers. To bid, partnerships must nominate a lead school/institution or entity that will receive the grant award on behalf of the partnership.
