The event is in advance of a potential upcoming requirement for the appointment of a Learning, Evaluation & Quality (LEQ) partner for the Enhancing Schools' Commercial Capability (ESCC) project. A successful contractor will be required to deliver formative and summative evaluations and feasibility studies for component elements of the project.
