## Summary

The Department for Education is currently planning a procurement process titled "ESEE - Improving the teaching of Physical Education at primary school," aimed at enhancing Physical Education in English primary schools. The procurement falls under the education and training services category and is being conducted across multiple regions in the United Kingdom. A key date in this process is the market engagement webinar scheduled for 6 April 2022, with a deadline for expressing interest in attendance by 16:00 on 5 April 2022. This procurement method is focused on early supplier engagement and is intended to collect feedback from potential suppliers.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in education and training services, to provide innovative solutions for the improvement of Physical Education in primary schools. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this process. Engaging with the Department for Education during the market engagement webinar can provide valuable insights into the project's requirements, making it an ideal opportunity for organisations looking to expand their influence in the educational sector.

## Notice

The purpose of this early engagement notice is to notify the market of the Department for Education (DfE) intention to undertake a procurement exercise to source a potential supplier via the competitive award of a contract to lead programme to support primary schools to improve the teaching of Physical Education. The objective will be to improve the quality of Physical Education taught in English primary schools and contribute to greater recognition of the value of Physical Education as a subject. This Contracts Finder Notice is linked to an Early Supplier Engagement Event and a PIN without call for competition.
