Notice Description
This contract covers all aspects of delivery for the Standards and Testing Agency's General Qualifications Yellow Label Service. The "Yellow Label service" is a logistics service provided by STA to examination centres in England administering GCSE, GCE, BTEC, Functional Skills and similar approved qualifications. The service covers the collection of packages of completed examination scripts from the centres and their delivery to either scanning bureaus or residential markers as directed by Awarding Organisations, who are responsible for organising the marking of the scripts. The service aims to minimise the risk of lost packages, reduce the administrative burden on exams officers, and provide value for money.
