## Summary

The Department for Education is currently running a tender for the grant opportunity titled "Inclusive PE and School Sport", aimed at enhancing inclusion in physical education and sports for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This procurement falls under the services category in the education and training sector and has a minimum grant value of £250,000, rising to £300,000. The tender period closes on 9th May 2016, with the contract anticipated to start on 6th June 2016 and conclude by 31st March 2017. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing for a broad range of applicants.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in educational services, particularly those focusing on special educational needs and physical engagement programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By developing a comprehensive delivery plan that improves engagement in PE and sport for SEND pupils, organisations can not only contribute to an inclusive educational environment but also expand their service offerings and impact within the community.

## Notice

Please note that this is a grant. We are making grant funding available to kick-start or develop an existing programme that supports inclusion in PE and school sport. We want to ensure that all children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) have equal access to PE and sport. The successful bid will deliver a programme that will support pupils with SEN and disabilities to increase their engagement in PE, sport and physical activities. We expect to see a clear plan for how this will be achieved, which should be based on evidence and include measureable outcomes. Bids should cover the elements of a delivery plan for how the programme will improve and extend the quality of schools' PE and sports provision and teaching, how pupils will be supported to increase their engagement and participation in PE, sport and physical activities (both in and outside of school), and what the measurable impact on the pupils will be. The delivery plan should include details of key outputs and milestones.
