Description

The purpose of this early engagement notice is to notify the market of the Department for Education (DfE) intention to undertake a procurement exercise to source a potential supplier via the competitive award of a contract to lead programme to support primary schools to improve the teaching of Physical Education. The objective will be to improve the quality of Physical Education taught in English primary schools and contribute to greater recognition of the value of Physical Education as a subject.

This Contracts Finder Notice is linked to an Early Supplier Engagement Event and a PIN without call for competition.

The contractor can be either one organisation, or a group of economic operators working together. We are keen to receive feedback from suppliers on our proposal and therefore we will be hosting a market engagement webinar.
