Due to the impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic the Council used a further negotiated contract to procure the service, which commenced on 1 August 2021 and expires 31 July 2024 (SLC/PS/EDUC/20/019). GL Assessment Ltd are not currently appointed to any Frameworks. The Procurement Service have considered the suitability of both the Scotland Excel Framework 1220 Education Materials which expires on 31 July 2025, and Education Services PSA SLC/PS/EDUC/19/028 Education Services PSA EDUC/19/028 is not suitable, as more than 50% of the value of the contract consists of goods, and it is therefore not within scope of the PSA. The Council will therefore recommend that GL Assessment apply to join the next iteration of framework, which is expected to be available during 2024-25. The optional extension is requested in order to ensure continuity of service. A one year contract with an optional one year extension will allow for continued service delivery whilst this process is being completed.",
