Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has completed a procurement process for the project titled "DfE Benchmarking Report Cards (BRC)", which falls under the category of specialist training services. This contract, valued at £110,000, was awarded following a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The project aims to issue new benchmarking report cards to maintained schools and academies based on updated financial data from 2020-21 and 2021-22 and was executed between 5 November 2021 and 31 August 2022. The procurement was conducted in London, and the contract notice was published on 19 November 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in data analysis and educational consultancy, particularly those that can provide innovative solutions for school resource management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for such contracts, as the procurement explicitly encourages their participation. By engaging in this sector, businesses can contribute to the enhancement of educational outcomes while potentially benefiting from future projects centred on school financial benchmarking and management.

Notice Information

Notice Title

DfE Benchmarking Report Cards (BRC) con_12240

Notice Description

We plan to issue new benchmarking report cards to all maintained schools and academies using the new financial data as it becomes available (2020-21 and 2021-22 for maintained schools and academies). The intention of doing so is to maintain the momentum for benchmarking among schools and to act as a prompt for schools to visit the benchmarking website. The use of benchmarking helps schools inform their spending decisions and make sure that resources are put to their best possible use. The Department supports that by providing the schools benchmarking service on GOV.UK, which allows schools to consider if, where and how spending changes could be made to support pupil progress within the available level of resource. The benchmarking website is a key element of the Department's School Resource Management (SRM) programme, one of the Secretary of State's priorities. It is endorsed by the Secretary of State.
