Summary of the contracting process

The City of London is buying pupil assessment services for City of London School. The requirement is classified as administrative educational services (CPV 75121000), indicating support for the school’s assessment activity rather than construction, equipment supply or general facilities management. The buying organisation is The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, based in the City of London. Delivery is therefore centred on City of London School and its pupil assessment needs. This opportunity is relevant to education assessment providers and organisations able to supply assessment-related administrative services to a UK public authority and secondary school. It is less relevant to suppliers whose work is limited to classroom teaching, building services, unrelated education consultancy or physical goods.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It was a direct award below the relevant threshold, made without competition, with one completed lot. Atom Learning Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £43,182. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome records a three-year pupil assessment services arrangement for City of London School. The route used was direct procurement rather than an open tender, so the process did not involve competitive bids or a scored evaluation between suppliers. The selected supplier is Atom Learning Limited.

For competing suppliers, this award is evidence that City of London School purchases pupil assessment support as a defined administrative education service. A credible future provider would need to offer assessment services suited to a school environment, with reliable processes for handling pupil assessment activity and the administrative work around it. The award also indicates that the buyer can use a straightforward below-threshold purchasing route for this type of requirement, so suppliers should be able to present a clearly scoped, proportionate service to a public authority. Organisations with established education assessment delivery, dependable operational capacity and a track record of supporting schools would be best placed to demonstrate relevance when this buyer reviews a similar need.
