Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education, located in London, England, has completed the procurement process for appointing suppliers to Lot 10 - Curriculum Subject Drafters under the ECSC Framework. This framework, specifically within the education and training services category (CPV code 80000000), covers numerous regions across the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The procurement method employed was an open procurement under a "light touch regime." The tender phase concluded on 14th October 2025, with the contract period running from 1st December 2025 until 30th March 2029. Notably, the framework's completion does not guarantee immediate work; however, additional curriculum-related tasks may be allocated up to the framework's expiry in 2029. The most recent update concerning this contract was published on 15th January 2026.

This tender provides various opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational services, to gain significant growth prospects. It is especially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE), as these types of organisations are encouraged to participate. The framework's extensive regional coverage allows businesses with operations in multiple areas of the UK to significantly enhance their service footprint. The procurement process, having employed a light touch regime, implies a less burdensome administrative requirement, opening the field up to businesses that can efficiently manage large-scale educational projects or supply staff specialised in curriculum drafting. Successful appointment to this framework positions businesses as preferred suppliers for future educational projects managed by the Department for Education.
