Could your organisation partner with the DfE's Free Breakfast Club programme to ensure pupils start the day ready to learn?

The Free Breakfast Club programme is one of the Department for Education's flagship policies, central to the Government's mission to break down barriers to opportunity for every child. Once fully implemented, it will deliver a free breakfast club in every primary school in England, giving millions of children the chance to start the day supported and ready to learn.

From April 2025, the Department has funded free breakfast clubs in 750 early adopter schools across England, reaching ca.180,000 pupils of whom ca.79,000 are disadvantaged. This is part of a test and learn phase in advance of further roll out to schools with primary-aged pupils across England. Our clubs are fully funded to deliver 30 minutes of free childcare to working parents and a free breakfast to all pupils who wish to attend the club. But there is room to increase the impact.

We believe that additional benefits can be delivered from working closely with partner organisations to support schools in enhancing their Free Breakfast Clubs delivery.

There are many successful corporate and industry partnerships already occurring at local levels, and the Department seeks to build on this existing good practice by harnessing and coordinating to ensure equitable access at a national level. To this end, we want to start building relationships with organisations as part of the Free Breakfast Club programme.

We are seeking offers from food providers that enable participating schools to maximise the value of their food spending through deals for the schools and to ensure securing food is as easy, reliable and flexible as possible.
Attached to this notice is a Partnership Opportunity document that contains further information on this opportunity. We have also attached a Draft Sponsorship Agreement containing the applicable legal terms and conditions.

The Department will be conducting a webinar via Microsoft Teams on 18 July from 11:00-12:00 for organisations interested in this opportunity.

Description

Path surfacing and drainage
We are looking for an experienced contractor to carry out path works on the North York Moors near to Blakey Ridge.
The work is sensitive as it is over land that carries national and international conservation/habitat status being SSSI, SPA and SAC.
This project involves the construction of a 1030m recreational path to improve public access over the moorland area. The path will be constructed using suitable materials (sandstone aggregates) and aims to enhance visitors' experience while protecting sensitive habitats.
The awarding of the contract will be subject to weighting in consideration of price, proven experience of path construction in designated landscapes and also location (we are looking for a contractor local to the North York Moors and with knowledge of the area.
Path is 1030m and runs from Blakey Ridge Road at NZ 6752 0126 to near Fat Betty (monument) at NZ 6822 0196.
Presently the path is poorly drained in places, eroded and unsurfaced. Our aim is to prepare the path as required and to apply an aggregate sandstone surface at approx. 1.5m wide at a suitable depth to create a level path. It is envisaged that the construction of the path will be with a subbase of larger aggregate and a finer top surface. The path is to be laid and properly compacted with a camber to facilitate the shedding of water off the path.
Several locations will require drainage in the form of piped culverts under the path (please price up for seven pipes) with associated ditching in order to channel water through the pipe.
Vegetation that might be within the footprint of the path or associated ditching is to be carefully removed and replaced in areas of erosion where the current path is eroded wider that the designated 1.5m. It is very important that this 'landscaping' is carried out with great care and consideration of the national and international habitat designations that apply.
In addition to the habitat designations of the area, the path runs through some area of archaeological interest and consideration of these is also very important. An archaeologist may need to be present on site for a 'watching brief' when working near the areas of archaeological interest.
It is envisaged that works will start after July (after bird nesting season) and prior to November - September likely ideal time.
A site visit can be arranged in order to talk over the proposed works and look at finer details of the specification.

Description

It is proposed that a new specialist behavioural support service is established, increasing capacity and capability in relation to supporting children and young people with behaviours that put the safety of themselves and those around them at risk.
An intensive, PBS informed behaviour support service (Positive Behaviour Support) to directly work with c. 12 families per year. This would target highly complex children and young people identified by professionals as being likely to come into social care within six months, as a direct result of behaviours that challenge and which put their own and others' safety at risk.
The criteria for the service would be behaviour-led rather than diagnosis-led.
The service will build the skills of the person and of those who care for and support them and using the least restrictive practice possible.

There will be two Market Engagement sessions held, whereby providers will have the opportunity to help shape the service offer.

Early years childcare in England is delivered by a large and diverse mix of providers - ranging from childminders, who deliver childcare to small groups of children in their own homes, to large nursery schools.

Detailed information is collected about these providers, and about their childcare provision, via an annual survey. Results from this survey are used to monitor the early years sector and evaluate the impact of government policies, such as the recent expansion to government-funded childcare.

We require contractors to design and carry out three waves of this survey (in 2026, 2027 and 2028). The contractors will need capacity to carry out a large and complex survey (recent surveys have been returned by approximately 10,000 providers each year) at speed. The survey will need to be methodologically robust, in order for its results to be published as Official Statistics.

We will be holding a virtual market engagement event at the beginning of August, to provide more information about the contract for the next wave of surveys and answer questions about the survey.

Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria (HI NENC) are working collaboratively with the Child Health & Wellbeing Network (CHWN) in the delivery of the Child & Young Person (CYP) Transformation Agenda, focusing on the improvement for services for CYP with long term conditions. The four workstreams include:
• Healthier Together initiative
• Asthma: Community asthma advisors
• Epilepsy: Epilepsy Specialist Nurses (ESN) - Learning disabilities
• Epilepsy: Mental Health - Child Wellbeing Practitioner (CWP)
Evaluation of each workstream is required to assess the effectiveness and impact of the services in improving outcomes for CYP with a focus on the Core20 Plus 5 for CYP to reduce health inequalities. Evaluation outputs will be shared with the NENC ICB Healthier & Fairer committee to aid future decision making about whether the programmes should be rolled out across the NENC region and potentially beyond. Requirements to inform these decisions include clinical impact, cost-effectiveness and reduction in health inequalities.
To make the most of the funding budget available, one evaluation partner will be commissioned to deliver the four separate evaluations. The commissioned evaluation partner will be responsible for working with the CHWN to fully develop the methodological protocol to deliver the evaluations.

Aims of the evaluations:
The Healthier Together evaluation aims to assess the impact of the Healthier Together app online consultation on reducing primary care attendances, call wait times and appropriateness of GP access. In addition, the evaluation aims to understand the impact of the Healthier Together website, mobile app and Healthier Together champions on supporting families within underserved communities in the NENC in accessing Healthier Together, reducing parental anxiety and improve confidence to make informed decisions about when and where to access the healthcare system when their child is unwell.

The Asthma evaluation aims to assess the impact of the established asthma workstream on community asthma care and management in respect to prevention and post exacerbation in CYP.

The Epilepsy ESN evaluation aims to assess the impact of the ESN post in supporting CYP with epilepsy, with a focus on those with LD/Autism/Complex medical needs and neurodiversity.
