Notice Information
Notice Title
Early Engagement
Notice Description
The Department is looking to engage with prospective Contractors to provide international qualification services - for further information on the services required please see the attached ENIC policy content document (attached to this notice). As part of engagement, the Department is looking to test early thinking on: 1. The contractual model, particularly between a concession contract approach in which end users are charged by the Contractor, or a funded model in which the Department provides a fee to the Contractor, or a hybrid of both; 2. Early thinking to our specification; what could be improved, what would look attractive to prospective Contractors and how risk could be managed during the Contract's life; 3. The duration of a future contract. The above list is not exhaustive. The Department will arrange a virtual engagement session to be held on Nov 29th and like to last for up to a maximum of x2 hours. A Teams link will be shared 24 hours in advance, alongside a draft copy of our initial specification - please note the draft specification is a first draft and subject to extensive change based on feedback and further internal development. The engagement session will involve an open Q&A format and will be led by DfE policy and commercial. A maximum of x3 attendees per prospective Contractor may attend, and questions may be submitted prior to the engagement session. The Department may follow on with a survey after the engagement session. To register your interest, please email Richard Mawer and provide confirmation of the name and email addresses of attendees.
