Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education is planning an early market engagement event titled "Trialling Framework 2022-25 - Market Engagement Event", intended for vendors offering education and training services. This engagement is scheduled for 4th November 2021 from 10:00 to 12:00 via the Teams platform, with responses required by 12:00 on 1st November 2021. The event aims to establish a framework for procuring trialling services over three years, from June 2022 to June 2025, ensuring potential suppliers are well-informed about the upcoming procurement needs.

This early market engagement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in education and training services, particularly those with experience in trialling and assessment delivery. Suppliers that possess the necessary knowledge, capacity, and proven track record in delivering similar services will be well-positioned to compete in future procurements. Engaging with the Department for Education at this stage can help small to medium enterprises better understand the requirements and tailor their offerings to meet the needs of the forthcoming procurement processes.

The Standards and Testing Agency is wishing to establish a new framework for procuring trialling services for 3 years between June 2022 and June 2025. Ahead of commencing any future procurement, we wish to engage with the market to outline our requirements and explain how potential bidders may ready themselves for any procurement process that may follow.

In the event that the Department of Education might decide to commence any procurement process as contemplated by this notice, a separate notice will be published at the relevant time. The DfE is keen to ensure that potential suppliers have as much notice as is possible about the services we wish to procure and this supports our agenda about encouraging engagement with Small and Medium Suppliers.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Standards and Testing Agency's remit is to develop and deliver statutory national curriculum tests for English Reading, English Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS), Mathematics, Phonics and Reception Baseline Assessment for use in schools. The Agency is responsible for ensuring these tests are of the highest quality, accessible to all, inclusive and free from bias. The Agency is wishing to establish a new framework for procuring the services of Trialing agencies for 3 years between June 2022 and June 2025. Trialling is essential to STA's operating model of delivering brand new assessments and for adding to the bank of items for current assessments. Two types of trials are carried out: 1. Item validation trial (IVT) An item validation trial (IVT) is a relatively small-scale trial providing evidence to support item development, for example, refining the wording of questions and developing coding frames. 2. Technical pre-test The technical pre-test (TPT) is a larger scale trial and provides statistical evidence relating to items.
