## Summary

The Department for Education recently completed a tender process for the project titled "Content Validation of General and Applied Knowledge Questions and the Collation of Test Sets for the National Assessment and Accreditation System for Child and Family Social Workers." This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a contract value of £160,000. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the contract period was planned from 30th November 2017 to 31st March 2018. The tender period concluded on 29th September 2017, with the contract subsequently awarded on 13th October 2017, when Deloitte was selected as the supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in content validation and assessment services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant expertise. Companies that can demonstrate capabilities in creating and validating assessment materials for social work qualifications would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging in such public procurement initiatives can lead to long-term partnerships with government entities, fostering business growth in a sector that is essential for social service delivery.

## Notice

The Government is committed to the rollout of the National Assessment and Accreditation System (NAAS) for child and family social workers. We require a robustly validated bank of content with which we can carry out high quality assessments of social workers during rollout. The contract will seek contractor(s) to complete the content generation process for NAAS assessment by rigorously validating general and applied knowledge content and collating all assessment material into eight test sets for use
