Notice Description
The Kent County Council (the Council) currently runs a process which aims principally through testing to identify pupils in the top 25% of the ability range as eligible for admission to Year 7 of any of the county's grammar schools at age 11. Entry to the process is voluntary, with approximately 63% of the local cohort opting to take part, plus a significant number of external candidates. Provision is currently made for about 16,000 candidates. Tests are taken in early September of the year prior to the year of admission to grammar school.

In order to meet this commitment, the Council requires standardised test scores to be available within 8 working days of the last test date. The Council invites tenders for the supply of tests to support the admissions process. The contractor will be required to compile, where appropriate trial, produce or print as appropriate and deliver to the Council as follows: * Generic test familiarisation materials for annual use * Bespoke confidential test papers and multiple-choice answer sheets which can be read by Optical Mark Reader machines and / or form scanner imaging mark readers * Administration instructions Software: Overprinting software, Marking software, Standardisation software.
