Summary of the contracting process

The Department For Education is seeking to maintain its specialised psychometrics software, flexMIRT, through an annual renewal contract valued at £18,618. This procurement falls under the category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and support. The award was published on 5th September 2018, and although the tender stage is complete, the contract period commenced on 14th July 2018 and will run until 13th July 2019.
