The research aims to conduct a minimum of 40 qualitative interviews with school leaders in various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories, to gather insights into effective strategies supporting academically eligible pupils. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational research, consultancy, and qualitative analysis.

The successful bidder will be expected to work closely with the department to develop questions and topic areas for the interview guides. Whilst we have set out the broad parameters of the methodology bidders are free to suggest amendments if, based on their proven expertise, they can provide clear rationale as to how this will successfully meet the key aims of the research.
