## Summary

The Department for Education (DfE) is undertaking the 2nd Condition Data Collection Programme, seeking surveying organisations to collect and manage survey data across the UK. This procurement, classified under building surveying services, is currently at the Award stage and follows a selective procurement method. The total contract value is approximately £23.4 million, with an initial contract period starting on 11th November 2020 and extending until 10th May 2025. The end date for tender submissions was 7th July 2020, and the project encompasses various regions across the UK, including the North East, London, and the South West.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in surveying, data management, and educational facility assessments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete due to the nature of the services required. Companies that can demonstrate capability in delivering high-quality survey data while engaging with educational institutions will be well-suited to take advantage of this long-term partnership with the DfE, thus fostering potential business growth in the public sector.

## Notice

The DfE has undertaken a suite of procurements through which it will deliver the CDC2 programme. The first of these was the procurement of the IT solution (see OJEU notice ref: 2019/S 225-552062). The second was the procurement of a technical quality manager ('TQM'). The third procurement related to that of the surveying organisations ('SOs') to carry out surveys of the school estate. This notice relates to the procurement of the SOs. The procurement of the TQM and SOs were carried out simultaneously. The SOs will be responsible for carrying out and providing the delivery of survey data, provision and maintenance of surveyors to deliver the collection of consistent high quality data to pace and scale, and engaging with responsible bodies and individual schools/FE colleges. The full requirements for the SOs are set out in the procurement documents. The initial term of each contract will be 5,5 years, with option to extend for a further period or periods of up to a maximum overall extension of 2 years. The initial term begins with an implementation period of 3 months and allows for a 3-month handover period prior to expiry (and the optional extension). This is to accommodate the 5-year CDC2 programme. Supplementary to the CDC2 programme and process, the DfE may require the SOs to collect data to support the school Net Capacity Assessment ('NCA') to understand the use of spaces within a school. This data is used to measure and plan school places provision. Tenderers were required to submit a pre-priced fully developed contract variation in respect of the NCA requirement. Further details of the NCA are contained in the ITT and the Procurement Documents. The ITT requested information on how the SOs could support the collection of room level data to facilitate the DfE's NCA processes. However, it is not known at the time of issuing this notice whether services relating to NCA will actually be commissioned under the contract. On this basis the pre-priced variation was not evaluated.
