UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office commissioned technical analysis and consultancy to help Malaysia’s Ministry of Education assess possible routes for recognising UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and international Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS). The work is an independent, evidence-based review of the qualifications and how they align with Malaysian regulation, intended to support the Ministry’s regulatory decisions. The service is delivered in Malaysia. The procurement is focused on teacher qualification benchmarking and regulatory alignment, rather than teacher training or the delivery of education services.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. LEAPED SERVICES SDN. BHD. was selected for the technical analysis and consultancy. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July to 31 December 2026. Its value is £24,656.02. The stated purpose is to provide independent, evidence-based and technically robust analysis to inform the Malaysian Ministry of Education’s decisions on potential recognition pathways for QTS and iQTS. No award evaluation criteria are set out in the published process data.

This award shows demand for focused, independent expertise at the intersection of teacher qualifications and education regulation in Malaysia. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to assess UK QTS and iQTS against Malaysian regulatory requirements, produce technically robust and evidence-based analysis, and present findings clearly enough to support government policy decisions. Relevant experience in qualification benchmarking, comparative education systems and regulatory alignment would be directly applicable. The selected supplier is a large services business, indicating that the buyer has engaged an established provider; however, the contract is a tightly scoped analytical assignment rather than a large-scale delivery programme. Suppliers able to combine subject knowledge with rigorous research and clear advice for a ministry are best aligned with this buyer’s requirement.
