This procurement was classified under education and training services and was intended for the UK. The procurement process was initiated as an open tender, but the status of the tender is marked as cancelled. Resources were expected to be available to schools by 6 September 2021 and 3 January 2022, covering the entirety of the Academic Year 2021/22, with a possibility for extensions based on evaluated needs. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational resources, curriculum development, and digital platform management. Companies that can design high-quality, subject-specific resources for mathematics, English, and science across various key stages would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, educational technology firms capable of hosting and delivering these resources online may find a suitable niche in this tender, especially as the Department for Education may seek to expand the resource offerings in the future. ## Notice The Department for Education are seeking a supplier or consortium of suppliers, to deliver a range of in-class curriculum resources which shall be freely available, accessible on demand and non-mandatory for schools to use, via the Contractor's hosting platform.
