Free Breakfast Club Programme Partnership Opportunity Open Call
Descriptions
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 11 July from 11:00-12:00 for organisations interested in this opportunity.

Accordingly, this notice is published on a voluntary basis for transparency purposes and to encourage market interest in the relevant opportunity.
