This project aims to pilot a new adaptive learning experience for learners aged 14-16 in the UK, addressing GCSE exam preparation needs. The initial contract, starting on 2 December 2024 and ending on 1 December 2025, has a value of £200,000, with potential extensions up to 48 months, reaching a total possible contract value of £1.5 million. The tender uses an open procedure above the threshold and is suitable for SMEs.

The contract not only offers an initial substantial budget but the possibility of extension ensures long-term engagement, enhancing the firm's portfolio and market presence. SMEs with a focus on innovative educational solutions should consider leveraging this opportunity to collaborate with a reputable organisation like the BBC and expand their business footprint in the comprehensive e-learning sector.

Notice Title

Bitesize Adaptive Learning

Notice Description

BBC Bitesize is looking to pilot a new adaptive learning experience to address audience needs. The pilot will focus on providing this experience to young people aged 14-16 in the United Kingdom, including learners preparing for their GCSE exams. In the longer term, Bitesize hopes to launch this to all education key stages (including primary). The adaptive learning experience will adopt a micro-learning approach to both longer-term learning for each curriculum key stage and exam revision, serving up content and assessment questions best suited to each individual learner, tracking educational progress in an interactive dashboard, and providing incentives and rewards for user engagement and achievement. We are interested in working with an organisation that has established capabilities, products or services which deliver personalised adaptive learning and revision experiences for young learners. The initial contract term is 1 year for the pilot phase with a budget of PS200K. The Contract may be extended at the BBC's discretion by up 48 months up to a maximum total contract value of PS1.5m over the total potential 5 year contract term, including the initial 1 year pilot.
