The project falls under the industry category "Education and training services" and will be carried out in multiple locations including the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently open for interested parties to submit their bids, with a tender period ending on 2nd May 2023 and a contract period starting on 15th June 2023 and ending on 15th April 2024. This tender by AHDB presents an opportunity for education specialists with experience in running on-farm educational visits and producing classroom resources for secondary school students to engage in a pilot project focusing on education objectives. Businesses that are well-suited to compete include those with a proven track record in delivering educational programmes and resources for GCSE and A-Level students. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate in this open procedure above the threshold tender to showcase their expertise and contribute to AHDB's education initiatives. ## Notice School education is a key priority for the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB). Our education work aims to ensure that school children understand where their food comes from and healthy eating so they are informed consumers of the future. We also actively support children to develop cooking skills. To build on the success of AHDB's existing education programme, AHDB is keen to explore opportunities to bring the 'where food comes from' message to life and enhance learning by facilitating educational visits and experiences of British working farms. This approach recognises the power of learning through experiencing, discovering, exploring and interacting with the real world beyond the classroom. To test this approach, AHDB plans to undertake a series of pilot projects with experiential learning at their heart. These pilot projects will be a proof of concept and aim to establish which initiatives are most effective in delivering AHDB's education objectives. AHDB wants to work with an education specialist who can develop and deliver all of the planned pilot projects in England, including the evaluations thereof; this will ensure continuity of delivery and output across all pilot projects. The successful supplier should have experience of running on-farm educational visits and producing supporting classroom resources for secondary school students (including GCSE and A-Level students linking to relevant qualification specifications).
