Notice Information

Notice Title

Multiply (adult numeracy) RCTs and 'What Works' programme of RCTs and trials

Notice Description

Summary As part of the Multiply programme, DfE is interested in procuring up to twenty Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) and other experimental activity, including quasi-experimental trials and A/B trials to enhance understanding of what works in improving adult numeracy. The requirement will include quality assurance, management, and reporting on a programme of randomised controlled trials and quasi-experimental trials. It will also include managing payments to organisations delivering the interventions. We have developed and shared with potential suppliers in previous market engagement events a draft statement of requirements for the programme of work, and outline specifications for individual RCTs and trials. We have taken note of the feedback from these events and the subsequent supplier questionnaires. We would like to engage further with potential suppliers to discuss the requirement to manage payments to organisations delivering the interventions. We will also give further information about the procurement ahead of issuing the ITT later this year. We would like to invite potential suppliers to a virtual meeting on Friday 11th November at 1:00pm to gauge the level of interest in this project, to hear views on what is needed to make it a success, to answer questions and to support potential suppliers to link up. This session will provide: * a brief overview of the Multiply RCT and other experimental activity element of the programme * more detail on the requirement to manage payments to organisations delivering the interventions * separate to this procurement, but related to the RCT and trials programme of delivery, an overview of the activity and procurement to develop the intervention products and approaches If you would like to be invited to this event, please forward your email address to Multiply.RESEARCHANDEVALUATION@education.gov.uk Please see attached document for more information
