This project is classified under "Technical analysis or consultancy services" and "Project management consultancy services," and was set in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement utilised a direct method through a single tender action below threshold, with the tender period closing on 19th November 2020. The contract, valued at £13,200, commenced on 1st January 2021 and concluded on 31st May 2021. This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer consultancy or project management services, particularly those with expertise in educational assessment and stakeholder research. Businesses that can demonstrate experience in delivering similar projects focused on learning outcomes or educational policy analysis would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities, benefiting from a growing demand for insights in the education sector post-pandemic. ## Notice COVID-19 Learning Loss Project 2020-21 - stakeholder perceptions The aim of this research is to track and explore opinion on learning loss related to the COVID-19 pandemic, with an emphasis on General Qualifications and certain Vocational Technical Qualifications (those used to support progression to further or higher education). We will focus on the perceptions of students taking assessments in these qualifications in 2021, as well as their teachers and parents. More specifically, we aim to gauge their perceptions of the delivery and award of GCSEs, A levels and certain VTQs during summer 2021, in terms of: practicality; validity; fairness; and differences in preparedness across learners in different circumstances. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f79cbec-93a6-424f-a1f4-df27c532d880 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 19 Nov 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Nov 2020 | | Contract period | 19 Nov 2020 - 31 May 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £13,200 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £13,200 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFFICE OF QUALIFICATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS REGULATION (OFQUAL) | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV1 3BH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG33 Coventry | | Local authority | Coventry | | Electoral ward | Sherbourne | | Westminster constituency | Coventry North West | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TINA ISAACS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services ## Release History - 31 May 2021 at 08:57 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f79cbec-93a6-424f-a1f4-df27c532d880 - 28 May 2021 at 09:46 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f79cbec-93a6-424f-a1f4-df27c532d880 - 27 May 2021 at 11:11 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f79cbec-93a6-424f-a1f4-df27c532d880 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4f79cbec-93a6-424f-a1f4-df27c532d880 31st May 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY161963 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://ofqual.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
