Notice Title

OISC Competence Assessment Contract

Notice Description

The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC), through the Home Office intends to make an amount of up to PS174,000 for a 3-year term, available to a Provider to provide a competence assessment service to test those applying to become regulated Immigration Advisers. OISC requires an external organisation to write, mark and moderate immigration and asylum question papers at all Levels (1-3) in order to adequately assess a candidate's knowledge of immigration and asylum. OISC will review draft papers produced to ensure that they are in line with our Guidance on Competence and to quality assure the papers prior to a final paper being confirmed. Assessments include both multiple choice sections and scenario exercises aimed at testing the broad area of work in which an Immigration Adviser is expected to be competent. Payment will be based on some set unit costs to compile and mark tests, but also contains variable costs dependent on candidate numbers applying to be qualified. Additional information: This Award is aimed at UK based and registered organisations. This is an online competition managed via the Home Office eSourcing Portal, Jaggaer.
