UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coventry City Council is procuring a Key Stage 2 Moderation Manager for the 2026/2027 academic year. The service will support the Council in delivering its statutory education responsibilities by moderating Key Stage 2 writing and monitoring Standard Assessment Tests (SATs). This is an education and training service, suited to providers with practical expertise in primary assessment, moderation and standards monitoring. The work is for Coventry City Council and will be delivered in connection with Coventry’s schools and education services. The requirement is presented as a single service covering the Council’s moderation management needs, rather than as separate goods, construction works or multiple service packages.

The procurement has reached tender: Coventry City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The deadline for electronic submissions is 24 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The initial contract period is 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, with two optional 12-month extensions, allowing the arrangement to run to 31 October 2029 if both are used. The estimated tender value is £40,500 excluding VAT and £48,600 including VAT. Award will be based on the most advantageous offer: technical and quality responses account for 80% of the evaluation, and net price accounts for 20%. Bidders must submit through the Council’s CSW-JETS e-procurement system.

This opportunity suits education, assessment and school-improvement specialists with the capability to manage statutory Key Stage 2 moderation and monitor SATs effectively. Relevant suppliers are likely to understand primary-school writing standards, moderation practice, assessment evidence and the practical requirements of working with schools and education authorities. The strong emphasis on technical and quality evaluation means bidders will need to demonstrate a credible delivery approach, sound professional judgement and the ability to carry out consistent monitoring and moderation. Providers with established education networks, experienced assessment personnel and sufficient capacity to manage the Council’s requirement across the service period are well placed to compete. The contract may also suit specialist consultancies, experienced independent education professionals or organisations delivering comparable local-authority assessment services.
