This Prior Information Notice (PIN) outlines a requirement for delivering up to 150 STEM workshops annually across the United Kingdom and overseas, focusing on various educational topics such as coding, robotics, and environmental awareness. Interested suppliers should note that a market engagement event is scheduled for 3rd May 2022, with the deadline to express interest being 28th April 2022. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in educational services, particularly those with expertise in STEM education and resources for youth engagement. Companies providing interactive workshop solutions, educational technology, or curriculum development tailored to young learners will be well-suited to compete. Successful bidders will have the chance to participate in future requirements through 'Call-Off' or 'Mini Competition', thus facilitating potential long-term partnerships with various UK contracting authorities. ## Notice This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) by MOD Air Commercial to inform potential suppliers of the requirement to introduce a Framework for Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workshops and design programmes for young people aged 9-14. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Please note this is not a call for competition, this is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) for a Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Framework. This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) by MOD Air Commercial to inform potential suppliers of the requirement to introduce a Framework for Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) workshops and design programmes for young people aged 9-14. Both the workshop and design elements will support the RAF Youth & STEM's objectives to inspire a future generation to study STEM subjects at GCSE and develop a more diverse and skilled future talent pool to address the national STEM skills shortage. The shortage is particularly acute among women and the socially disadvantaged - both areas that are specifically targeted by the RAF Youth & STEM programme. It is expected that up to 150 STEM workshops will be required to be delivered each year both face to face and virtually with half day and full day options made available. Workshops will need to be delivered throughout the United Kingdom and at overseas locations (tbc). Workshops and STEM resources will need to be curriculum mapped and be linked to the following topics: - Coding - Robotics - Cyber - Forces - Principles of Flight - Mindsets - Energy - Space - Electronics - Net Zero The Framework will be made available to all UK contracting authorities and be valid for 5 years. Successful bidders will have the opportunity to apply for future requirements through "Call-Off" or "Mini Competition". To establish supplier interest, a Market Engagement event will be held at RAF Cranwell on 3rd May 2022. The closing date to express interest in this market engagement event is 28th April 2022.
