UK_2020_EandE_Assessment Solutions

The purpose of this tender is to find suppliers to work with us to further develop our offer to meet the growing demand for Assessment Solutions. Our aim is to collect a panel of suppliers who can meet some or all our requirements in the next pages. Successful suppliers will be offered a two-year framework agreement (renewable for two years) and will be eligible to bid for contracts.

Assessment Solutions opportunities vary in scope and complexity. Tests we develop vary in the skills to be assessed, purpose of the test, format, task types, proficiency levels, grading of performance and reporting of scores and feedback. The tests may be for high-stakes purposes such as exit tests at university level or for lower-stakes purposes such as benchmarking for projects or filtering for corporate recruitment.

Suppliers need to describe the extent to which they meet the requirements in at least one of the following business areas:

Lot 1: Test authoring platform for content production

Lot 2: Test registration and delivery

Lot 3: Test marking

Lot 4: Data analytics for quality assurance and research purposes
