## Summary

The Department for Education is leading a procurement process focused on developing an Anti-Bullying & Behaviour Toolkit for mainstream schools in England, covering ages 5 to 16. This initiative aims to support school staff in managing pupil behaviour and preventing bullying, set to commence in early Spring 2025. Located in London, this process has successfully reached the award stage, with Empowering Education International Limited, based in Sheffield, being selected to deliver the service. The tender is under the education and training services category and follows an open procedure, with the contract award issued on 30th January 2026. The initial contract period is from 12th February 2026 to 31st July 2029, with possibilities for annual extensions up to 2032.

This tender is a significant opportunity for entities with substantial research capabilities and expertise in the English school system to showcase their skills. The project is envisaged to drive business growth by allowing suppliers to create resources that translate academic findings into practical advice for schools. It is particularly suitable for large organisations specialising in educational services, research, and training development. The procurement encourages smaller enterprises and VCSEs to participate, evidenced by its open procedure and weighted criteria that factor in overall quality and social value. Businesses equipped with the required skills can contribute to meaningful sectoral improvement while capturing new market opportunities.
