Bid to partner with Oak

School Support Director

Update

Our procurement has closed. You can find out more about the partners we will be working with in this blog.


Following our Prior Information Notice in September, we're pleased to confirm that our first round of open procurement launches today.

We're excited to be partnering with others to share the very best thinking that the sector has to offer, starting with £8 million of investment available to schools and education organisations who have brilliant curriculum materials ready to develop.

Since our launch in September we've been listening to helpful feedback on our plans, and we’ve made a number of changes to best support teachers.

We want to see teachers continue to draw on high-quality, optional resources from diverse organisations. A summary of our approach, and the changes we’re making, can be found in this short briefing:
