Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) has completed a procurement process for "Electronic Marking Services" located in Glasgow, UK. This procurement was initiated as a limited tender due to unforeseen challenges posed by the Covid pandemic, which required SQA to extend an existing contract for two years. The contract, valued at £3,000,000, was signed on 30th October 2020 and aims to ensure the continued provision of electronic marking to support SQA’s regulated duties as an awarding body.
