## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Education, seeking to explore digital methods to support the delivery of Modern Foreign Language GCSEs through a user-centred design discovery research project. This project, titled "Digital Methods to support Modern Foreign Language GCSE delivery - Discovery," falls under the research and development services category. The award was made to Joylab for a total value of £109,950, with a contract period starting on 13 March 2018 and concluding on 24 April 2018. The procurement method was selective, using a call-off from a framework agreement, and the tender period ended on 1 March 2018.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational technology and consultancy services. Companies that focus on research, development, and the implementation of tech solutions in educational environments would benefit from this process. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in similar tenders, as the project's scope aims to foster innovation that reduces teacher workloads and enhances student uptake in Modern Foreign Languages.

## Notice

This was a user-centred design discovery research project exploring the potential of educational technology to improve the uptake of Modern Foreign Languages at GCSE level. It was designed to look at the impact that EdTech could have on reducing teacher workload as well as encouraging pupil demand. This was in support of meeting the EBacc ambition of 75% of pupils studying the EBacc pillars by 2022, with MFL being a particular challenge.
