This initiative falls under the education and training services industry category (CPV code 80000000). A virtual market engagement event is scheduled for 30 October 2025 from 13:00 to 14:00. This initiative is set to launch new opportunities by late November 2025 for the delivery of grants, with a total fund value of £4 million. These grants aim to support educational initiatives designed to combat antisemitism. The geographic scope of this project covers various regions across the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, Midlands, and several others. Interested parties are encouraged to express their interest through the Jaggaer e-procurement portal. This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to participate in initiatives that tackle discrimination and promote inclusive educational practices. The thematic priorities identified include improving media literacy to counter misinformation, fostering interfaith collaborations, and promoting tolerant discourse. Businesses with expertise in these areas can leverage this opportunity to expand their operations and impact within educational settings across the UK. Attending the market engagement event will provide valuable insights and networking opportunities to influence the final scope of the Innovation Fund. ## Notice The Department for Education intends to publish a new opportunity in late November 2025, for the delivery of grants under the Tackling Antisemitism in Education Innovation Fund. Hate crime, discrimination and racism do not have a place in Britain. The loss of life and the targeting of worshipers during the terrorist attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2nd October was a devastating reminder of the challenges faced by Jewish communities. The Department is taking proactive steps to tackle it across educational settings. The Innovation Fund, with a total value of PS4 million, will comprise of a range of grants that will facilitate small-scale initiatives and larger, strategic projects. Funded projects will support education about antisemitism, including the relationship between mis and disinformation online and the spread of antisemitism, and will provide young people with the skills and confidence to identify and tackle it. Following previous market engagement and the valuable feedback provided, three thematic priorities have been identified. Proposals should align with at least one of the following delivery areas: - Improving media literacy skills and identification of mis and disinformation. - Promotion of tolerant discourse and discussion. - Fostering interfaith and ethnic collaboration and increasing awareness of prejudice. Prior to the launch of the application window, the Department would like to hear your thoughts and receive feedback on our planned approach for the Innovation Fund, to ensure it has maximum impact and reach to tackle antisemitism in education. We are hosting a virtual market engagement event on 30 October 2025 13:00-14:00. It will consist of a brief presentation and there will be an opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions.
