Life Lessons, Oak National Academy tender development

Oriel Square delivered two winning tenders enabling Life Lessons Education to partner with Oak National Academy. Life Lessons was selected by Oak to develop a full spiral curriculum with accompanying lessons in the core subject areas:
Primary education – Relationships and Health Education (RHE)
Secondary – Relationships Sex and Health Education (RSHE)
Through this work, all schools in England will have access to free, high quality lessons that help with teacher confidence and support children to develop the knowledge and skills to make informed life choices and stay safe.

Our Head of Operations Claire Gilbert was well-placed to manage this project, drawing on decades of experience working in edtechs, and expertise in managing the complexities of the tendering process. Claire worked closely with the co-founders and key team members at Life Lessons to gather and develop the information required for the bid and shape it to deliver over 30 required documents.

“Government tenders are complex and overwhelming. You actually made a difficult process enjoyable. Working with us systematically through the deliverables, we appreciated your project management skills combined with an understanding of education and curriculum. We are delighted with the result.” – Jamie O’Connell, Co-CEO, Life Lessons

“It was a privilege to work alongside the team at Life Lessons Education and help them reach many more young people with their inspiring and innovative approach to RSHE. We were delighted that the tenders were successful.” – Claire Gilbert, Head of People and Operations, Oriel Square
