UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council procured education and training services from a Key Stage 2 Moderation Manager. The requirement was to deliver the Council’s statutory responsibilities for moderating Key Stage 2 writing and monitoring Standard Assessment Tests (SATs). The work was for Coventry, supporting the Council’s local education responsibilities. This opportunity would suit an education assessment provider or specialist individual with the operational capability to manage statutory primary-school moderation and oversee SATs monitoring. The requirement relates to education services rather than general training provision: suppliers would need to understand assessment standards, moderation activity and the practical oversight of testing arrangements. The Council was the buying organisation and intended to appoint a provider for the full requirement represented by the single lot.

The procurement reached tender: Coventry City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026 at 12:00 BST. The intended contract period was 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with provision for two 12-month renewals, giving a maximum end date of 31 August 2029. The estimated value was £40,500 excluding VAT and £48,600 including VAT. Evaluation was based mainly on technical and quality responses, weighted at 80%, with net price weighted at 20%. The tender was subsequently cancelled. The Council stated that no tender submissions were received by the deadline, so no submissions were evaluated and no award was made.

This opportunity suited suppliers focused on statutory education assessment, primary-school moderation and assessment quality assurance. The required service called for the ability to manage Key Stage 2 writing moderation and monitor SATs delivery on behalf of a local authority, so relevant knowledge of national assessment arrangements and moderation practice would be important. Providers with established processes for coordinating schools, reviewing assessment evidence and reporting findings to a council would have been well placed. The single requirement offered scope for a specialist education consultancy, assessment organisation or experienced moderation manager able to take responsibility for delivery across Coventry. The relatively focused service would suit a provider whose core capability is education standards and assessment oversight rather than a broad general training business.
