Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has initiated a public procurement process for the annual membership to "The National Consortium for Examination Results". This contract is for services classified under "Administrative educational services", with the contracting authority located in Reigate, United Kingdom. The procurement process employed is direct, below threshold and without competition, focusing on one sole supplier. This award process is currently active, with the contract expected to start on 1st April 2026 and ending on 31st March 2027, and the next key deadline being the future signature date on 15th March 2026.

For businesses in the educational services sector, particularly those providing analysis services and online systems, this tender offers a consistent annual opportunity to secure membership contracts across regions UKJ25 and UKJ26. While the procurement does not include competition, due to the nature of the sole supplier arrangement, businesses aiming to compete in similar tenders could benefit by aligning their offerings with the requirements and standards set forth by Surrey County Council. Large-scale service providers are especially well-suited for such contracts, given the aggregation and specialisation required to meet the council's needs efficiently.
