This tender is categorised under education and training services and has a total funding availability of £1 million, with individual bids capped at £250,000 (inclusive of VAT). The tender period closes on 7th December 2018, and the selected organisations are expected to deliver their services from January 2019 to March 2020. This grant presents significant opportunities for voluntary, community and social enterprises, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are keen on contributing to educational interventions related to LGBT issues. Potential bidders should possess expertise in creating and implementing educational programmes and have a commitment to promoting inclusivity in schools. By participating, organisations can expand their outreach and impact while playing a vital role in combating discrimination and supporting the welfare of LGBT students in England. ## Notice Please note this is a grant and the scope is in England only. Since 2014, the Government Equalities Office (GEO) has invested PS5 million in programmes to prevent and tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying in schools. These funds were introduced in response to evidence that suggested young people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans (LGBT) are more likely to experience bullying, and this type of bullying has significant effects on educational attainment, emotional well-being, and truancy and absence levels. In the LGBT Action Plan, launched in July 2018, GEO committed to continue tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and agreed to provide further funding for interventions in schools from March 2019 to March 2020. The Government Equalities Office is seeking to appoint organisations to deliver this work in schools across England. Grants are open to voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Other organisations can be part of a partnership or consortium bid (but not the lead organisation) made on a "not for profit" basis. The impact of this activity and any direct delivery of the services must be in England only. The successful organisations will be expected to: - design a package of interventions as outlined in the specification document - set up and deliver these interventions in schools between January 2019 and March 2020 There is a total of PS1 million available for this grant scheme and a single organisation can bid for up PS250,000 (inclusive of VAT).
