## Summary

The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) has completed a procurement process for "Portal development services," valued at £45,500. The contract falls under the category of industry-specific software development services and was located in the West Midlands, England. This open procedure tender was initiated to develop new portal functionality that meets increasing demands, exacerbated by COVID-19, and it has been active since the award date of 22nd February 2021, concluding on 31st May 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for software development companies, particularly those with experience in educational technologies and portal development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the requirements favour businesses capable of providing tailored services to enhance regulatory frameworks in education during a period of increased demand. Companies adept at collaborative development and responsive to evolving user needs will be particularly well-positioned to compete effectively.

## Notice

Project Overview Work collaboratively with Ofqual's lead developer to develop new Portal functionality to support the increasing demands from internal and external users. 3. Problem Statement Over the next couple of years, Ofqual will see a sustained increase level of demand requiring a different way of working. The current spike in public contact has been dealt with by moving substantial numbers of colleagues around the organisation, which is not sustainable and has caused significant disruption and coordination challenges, whilst also being demanding on the staff involved. There are further anticipated spikes of activity likely over at least the next two years as extraordinary regulatory frameworks remain in place due to the impact and tail of COVID-19. "Business at normal volume" is unlikely to return at least for some time. 4. Objectives Iterate and enhance on portal modules such as external experts, data portal and statement of compliance, which can enable Ofqual users to respond quickly and consistently to demand.
