The Department for Education is seeking a delivery partner to establish and operate a National Centre for Arts and Music Education. The intention is to establish the Centre by September 2026. The Centre will play a pivotal role in delivering the government’s ambition to revitalise arts in schools in England, so every child can access a rich, high‑quality arts education that nurtures creativity, confidence, cultural understanding, and personal expression. The independent Curriculum and Assessment Review published its final report on 5 November 2025. The government also issued a response to the report on the same day, setting out the changes that will be made to the National Curriculum, qualifications, accountability, and enrichment. The first teaching of the new curriculum will be September 2028 and new GCSEs from September 2029, following consultation. The intention is to publish the new national curriculum in Spring 2027, following consultation on the draft later this year. Further policy will be published this year, in particular the Schools White Paper, changes to Attainment and Progress 8 accountability measures in a separate consultation document, and enrichment in schools in the Enrichment Framework guidance. In the light of these reforms, the aim is for the Centre to act as a strategic system leader, working across national, regional, and local levels to strengthen arts provision in schools. By convening and mobilising a broad coalition of partners, the Centre is intended to create the conditions for meaningful social impact. It will coordinate and align funding, investment, and activity to maximise the collective impact of all partners involved in arts education in schools. It will also generate and share data and evidence to guide decision making and target support where access to high quality arts education is most unequal. In this way, the Centre will be an important partner in revitalising arts education, securing equitable access to high quality teaching and enrichment opportunities, particularly for children and communities currently least able to access them. The delivery partner will lead the National Centre and therefore be responsible for the design, implementation, and oversight of the Music Hubs network to support delivery of these priorities: • Priority 1: Providing strategic national leadership in revitalising arts in schools, mobilising a coalition of national, regional, and local partners to generate and direct investment to support equitable access to high-quality arts in school, with a focus on under-served communities. • Priority 2: Supporting excellent teaching, through a new online CPD offer for primary and secondary school teachers and support to access existing high-quality teacher development provision available from others. • Priority 3: Promoting arts education to school leaders, teachers, parents, and young people, including promoting opportunities for children and young people to progress in the arts and pursue their interests and career aspirations. • Oversight of the Music Hubs network, including being fundholder for the network, monitoring hubs’ performance and delivery, and working with hubs to achieve the National Centre’s three priorities. The National Centre will be established with a phased implementation plan for its programme of work from September 2026. This includes the Centre assuming responsibility for the Music Hubs network from 1 September 2027. This gives the Centre a year to plan the transition from existing oversight arrangements with Arts Council England, during which the Centre can undertake preliminary engagement with Music Hub partnerships before September 2027. The existing Music Hubs capital grant overseen by Arts Council England will also be extended to the end of April 2027. The National Centre will not therefore need to assume responsibility for this grant. Future funding for the Music Hubs revenue grant will be confirmed in due course and is separate to this contract value.

ALL WALES - ENT PATIENT ASSESSMENT AND EXAMINATION CONSUMABLES

The university`s city campus underground district heating network (DHN) provides thermal energy to most of our teaching, research and student accommodation properties located on campus in addition to providing all the space heating and domestic hot water required by the NHS Dundee Dental Hospital. This thermal energy assists the university to comply with the H & S at Work Act 1974 and provides acceptable environmental comfort conditions for our staff, students, visitors, clinical patients and animals housed within our SoLS Resource Unit research facilities. We are looking to commence a new Framework contract with the existing supplier, or with a new supplier to replace the soon to expire Framework contract UoD-EFM-145-TC-2022. The thermal energy serving the DHN network is generated at source within our centralised main energy centre located at the northeastern corner of the campus. Most of the DHN schedule 40 and heavyweight mild carbon steel pipework below ground distribution system is located within purpose-built brick construction underground services ducts with load bearing slabs laid over beneath footpaths, road carriageways or soft landscaping. Over the last 20 years, extensions and additions to the DHN have generally been laid directly within soft or hard landscaping. The HTHW District Heating Pipework Lay Dates drawing, indicates that much of this network dates back to 1962 and is still in operation. Over the years and as the university has expanded and the thermal load increased, new excavations have been undertaken and new pipework laid below ground. The most recent extension of note to the DHN was in 2014.

Morpeth School, together with Old Palace Primary School and Cubitt Town Primary School, all within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, is undertaking a joint procurement exercise for the provision of cleaning services across all three sites. This collaborative approach has been adopted to achieve consistency of service, economies of scale and operational efficiencies, while recognising the individual needs and identities of each school. Morpeth School is a large, mixed secondary school and sixth form serving a diverse pupil population aged 11-18. Old Palace Primary School, a two-form entry primary school, and Cubitt Town Primary School both provide inclusive, nurturing environments for pupils age 4-11, with a strong focus on wellbeing, achievement and high standards of education. The contract will be tendered as a single procurement exercise, however the Schools expressly reserve the right to award the contract either as a single combined contract across all sites, or as separate individual contracts for each school, based on what is deemed to provide the most advantageous outcome for each school. Bidders are therefore required to submit proposals that clearly demonstrate their ability to delivery both a combined and where requested an individual model. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2026, initially spanning three years with an option for both parties to extend the contract for a further two years, (3+1+1) beyond this date by mutual agreement. Any contract extension will be subject to the Schools’ satisfaction and agreement on budgets and service levels. Some of the cleaning staff have LGPS pension schemes and either having ABS in a London Borough, or the ability to achieve ABS status, will be essential for bidders. The estimated combined turnover for the three-year duration is approximately £1.7 million. The contract is focused on consistently high levels of cleaning service and pro-active management. Regular termly and annual reviews throughout the contract duration are mandatory, and a break clause should be included to support both parties in case the relationship does not thrive. The School expects high standards of support and a strong working relationship with the selected bidder. The procurement process follows a two stage ‘Competitive Flexible’ approach, beginning with a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) stage followed by an Invitation to Tender (ITT) stage after shortlisting. The Schools reserve the right not to award the contract, including the option to pursue alternative delivery models, or to award on a site-by-site basis, should submissions fail to meet the required standard.
