The search for a firm to conduct “tackling antisemitism” training in colleges has been mysteriously paused by the Department for Education.
The DfE has indefinitely extended the bidding deadline for its “tackling antisemitism in education” contract, which now has an “arbitrary” closing date of March 7, 2030 “simply to ensure the opportunity remains open”, according to new tender documents.
Successful bidders were supposed to have been told the outcome of their application by March, with the contract going live in April.
Instead, all bidders have been told to wait for updated procurement timelines via the department’s portal, Jaggaer.
