The contract involves coordinating schools, planning activities, and delivering STEM sessions from August 2024 to July 2025. The tender is divided into five lots covering different regions, each with its own contract value and duration, offering opportunities for businesses to engage in promoting STEM education to young people aged 8-14. This initiative by the Ministry of Defence presents an opportunity for businesses in the education and training services sector to bid for contracts involving STEM delivery to schools. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with a bid deadline of July 15, 2024. Businesses offering STEM activities for Primary and Secondary Schools, especially focusing on regions such as the North, Midlands, Southeast, Southwest, and Scotland, are well-suited to compete for these contracts. The contract also includes the option to extend by one year based on funding availability and supplier performance. ## Notice The DNE is looking to contract with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 5 Delivery Partners to deliver STEM activities to Primary and Secondary Schools that will involve coordinating schools, planning content of activity sessions and delivery of these sessions in schools in the following areas: Lot 1: 60 schools across the North.
