## Summary

The Department for Education (DfE) is overseeing the Sustainability Seed Funding Project, which aims to connect children to nature and foster future leaders in climate change and environmental stewardship. This project is classified under research and experimental development services and has a total value of £99,000. It was initiated through a direct award procurement method, with the contract period commencing on 20th September 2021 and concluding on 31st December 2021. The tender process has now been completed, with an initial tender period that ended on 1st September 2021, and it covers delivery to various locations, including the United Kingdom and overseas territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental services, education, and community outreach, particularly those as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that offer innovative educational strategies or programmes aimed at fostering environmental awareness in schools would be particularly well-suited to apply. Engaging in such projects not only helps these businesses increase their visibility but also aligns them with the growing trend towards sustainability and climate responsibility within educational institutions.

## Notice

DfE have established a Sustainability and Climate Change Unit (S&CCU) to develop and drive a strategy for the Education and Children's Services system. The S&CCU are looking to develop a new nature and climate award scheme to connect children to nature throughout their school journey and develop climate change and nature leaders of the future
