Landex, on behalf of a collaborative forum of land-based education and industry partners, invites tenders for the development and delivery of an integrated national marketing campaign focused on raising awareness of land-based careers among young people aged 14-19. Landex is managing this project on behalf of the National Landbased College, working with sector partners to raise awareness of the breadth, relevance and future opportunities within land-based careers. The campaign will present a positive, modern and future-focused narrative for land-based careers, address misconceptions and awareness gaps, cover the breadth of land-based industries, include social media campaign delivery and video-led content, direct users to a central landing destination with onward routes to careers, courses, advisers and adult upskilling, integrate and signpost partner initiatives and assets, provide measurable impact data and reporting, and be scalable for potential future phases. The campaign will include a central landing page to support user journeys and signposting to partner resources. An outline structure for this already exists, so the primary focus of this commission is developing a strong campaign concept and reaching new audiences, rather than building a complex website. The campaign must remain unbranded and represent the land-based sector collectively. Evaluation will be undertaken on the basis of the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT). Shortlisted bidders will be invited to present as part of the final evaluation stage. Contract Value Maximum contract value: £40,000 inclusive of all costs and any applicable VAT.

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. Evidence shows that where schools run breakfast clubs, they report improvements to pupils' behaviour, attendance and attainment. The free breakfast club programme will mean every school, every child, and every family has the chance to receive those benefits. Since April 2025, we have funded c.750 schools to offer a free breakfast club as early adopters, delivering 7 million meals so far. Following the success of the early adopters, we are moving to national rollout investing a further £80m into the programme to fund an additional c.2,000 schools between April 2026 and March 2027. This will benefit around half a million more children. We invited schools with a 40% or higher Free School Meal (FSM) rate (or the most disadvantaged school in an area, whichever is lower) to apply to join the scheme in April 2026, getting the benefits to those who need them most, first. National rollout will then continue in September 2026, when more schools will open their free breakfast clubs, taking the total to c.3000 schools. Business Collaboration Through the free breakfast club programme, schools are fully funded to deliver a 30-minute club each morning, giving parents free childcare whilst their children can enjoy a nutritious breakfast, however, there is room to increase the impact so children can start their day in the best possible way. We know there are already great partnerships happening locally between schools, businesses and industry. The Department is keen to explore how we could strengthen and scale these approaches nationally, to maximise impact and enable all participating schools to benefit in the same way. During the early adopter 'test and learn' phase, the Department partnered with organisations across industry to further strengthen the programme's impact and maximise schools' funding, with a particular focus on breakfast provision. Following an Open Call published in July 2025, we received four offers of varied discounts/deals from national supermarkets and charities. These offers have been available to our c.750 early adopter schools since November 2025 and have been extremely well received by participating schools. As the rollout of free breakfast club continues, we want to build on the success of the early adopter phase by continuing to partner with organisations across the industry to help maximise the support available to schools. Additional information: We are seeking offers from food providers that enable Participating Schools in the free breakfast club programme in the 2026/27 academic year to maximise the value of their food spending and enhance their breakfast provision for pupils. In return, the Department proposes to offer partners a package of rights, as detailed below. Any deals offered by the partner will not be mandated for Participating Schools to make use of and Participating Schools will retain flexibility and choice in how they procure their food. We know that Participating Schools source food for their free breakfast clubs from a wide range of food providers. This sponsorship is intended to leverage the profile of the programme at a national level to ensure all Participating Schools have access to the best value-for-money deals. We are also seeking to address challenges that Participating Schools face in ordering food, including ease of access and use of ordering systems, reliability of delivery, minimum order values and volume restrictions.

RSPB Amberley Wildbrooks is a large wetland reserve located in West Sussex. It sits within the South Downs National Park and is part of the Arun Valley. The majority of the reserve is made up of wetland which is designated SSSI, SPA, SAC and Ramsar. The wetland is important for both wintering waders and wildfowl and breeding birds such as Lapwing and Redshank. Over the last 10 years, infrastructure on the site has been gradually declining. With the added pressure on increases in winter flood events and pressure form Fallow Deer, this decline has been rapid in recent years. The Downs to the Sea and Improving Pulborough and Amberley projects aim to restore the wetlands. Work to culverts will improve access and hydrological control. This will allow better grazing and control of water. Installation of a corral and new fencing will allow better grazing and reprofiling ditches where Anisus vorticulus are found will enhance habitat for this rare snail. This work will help make the site more resilient to the wetter winters and drier summers we are seeing as a result of climate change. Wet features and scrapes will help hold water during drier times and replacing broken culverts will create better water flow and control. Downs to the Sea has been established as a multi-partner project, led by the South Downs National Park Authority, to tackle these issues with the aim of helping to restore and protect crucial ponds and wetlands that are instrumental in nature recovery and resilience to climate change at scale, providing multiple ecosystem services: water for homes and farms, flood storage, wildlife habitat and recreation. The project will also connect with underserved audiences and those most vulnerable to health and wellbeing problems in the area and leave a legacy that highlights and supports the need for recovery and resilience in our communities, for both people and nature. The RSPB projects included in Downs to the Sea will see vital restoration works on a string of functionally connected nature reserves down through the Arun Valley. Work will focus on improving lowland wet grassland across the RSPB sites to benefit RSPB priority species (breeding waders and wintering wildfowl).
