OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice
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.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational technology and assessment services, to contribute to the ongoing needs of the Scottish Qualifications Authority. Companies with capabilities to deliver goods and services in the education sector, especially those experienced in electronic marking solutions, would be well-positioned to engage in future contracts stemming from this procurement process. The potential for growth lies in the demand for innovative educational solutions during a time of transformation in assessment methodologies.
