Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is planning a procurement process titled "Benchmarking Report Cards", aimed at producing benchmarking report cards (BRC) for schools and academies in England. The total budget allocated for this project is £110,000, scheduled to run from 1 November 2022 until 31 August 2023. Interested parties can expect the initial invitation to tender (ITT) documentation to be published in August 2022, with expressions of interest to be submitted via email to Samantha Turnbull by 6 July 2022. This contract falls under the data-processing services category (CPV code 72310000) and will be executed through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in data processing and educational services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The procurement process encourages firms that can efficiently generate and distribute BRC PDF files based on provided data, thereby contributing to improved financial decision-making within schools. Engaging in this process can significantly enhance a business's portfolio and reputational standing in the education sector, leading to further growth opportunities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Benchmarking Report Cards

Notice Description

The Department for Education will be looking to issue a Tender to enable us to produce Benchmarking Report Cards (BRC) for schools and academies. We require services to produce BRC PDF files based on data we provide and for them to be sent these out to all local authority-maintained schools and academies. We issue benchmarking report cards to all maintained schools and academies using financial data as it becomes available 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 full specification of requirements will be included in ITT documentation which will be published in August 2022. To submit an expression of interest please email Samantha.turnbull@education.gov.uk on or before 6 July 2022.
