This competition, classified under education and training services, has a total budget of £900,000, with grants of up to £300,000 available per financial year spanning 2021/22 to 2023/24. The tender period closes on 10 June 2021, with the contract period commencing on 12 July 2021 and lasting until 31 March 2024. Interested organisations should register on Jaggaer, the e-procurement portal, to participate in this grant competition. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), to contribute to the development of inclusive sports programmes for SEND pupils. Companies with expertise in educational services, sports coaching, or specialized training for SEND are well-suited to compete, particularly those with innovative approaches to improving engagement and participation in physical activities. The successful proposal will not only contribute to the welfare of students but could also lead to sustainable business growth through contracts that address an essential area of educational development. ## Notice The Department is making available up to PS300,000 of grant funding per financial year for 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24, to start or develop an existing programme that improves and increases PE and school sport opportunities available to pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Grant funding beyond 2021/22 will be subject to agreement of departmental priorities as part of the Spending Review and assessment of programme performance.
