## Summary

The procurement process is led by the Department for Education, which has awarded a contract for the "16-19 Tuition Fund Evaluation". This project falls within the research and development services sector, particularly focused on education and training services. The contract, valued at £245,050, began on 10 February 2022 and will run until 31 May 2023. The procurement method utilised was selective, involving a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender's period for submissions closed on 8 December 2021, indicating that this is now an award notice rather than an active tender.

This evaluation presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational research and consultancy services, particularly those that can conduct impact and process evaluations. Suitable competitors may include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that have expertise in data collection methodologies such as surveys, interviews, and focus groups tailored for educational contexts. Engaging in such evaluations can enhance companies' visibility within the education sector, aligning them with governmental initiatives and potentially leading to further contracting opportunities.
