## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Education, which is based in London, England. They are seeking services related to a project titled "Qualifications review consultation and call for evidence analysis." This initiative falls under the research services industry category, with a value of £15,870. The procurement method employed is selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on January 25, 2021, and concluded on March 16, 2021. The tender period ended on January 24, 2021.

This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultation services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in qualitative analysis and report writing, as well as those familiar with governmental consultation processes, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in such contracts can help these businesses expand their portfolios and strengthen relationships with public sector organisations.

## Notice

- Carry out analysis of all the responses to the consultation and the call for evidence. We would like a meeting at the beginning of the contract so that we can provide any helpful background about the policy, and the option of further meetings to discuss draft reports. The analysis should be by topic and pull out any differences by respondent type where appropriate. - Produce a separate interim report for each of the consultation and the call for evidence, focusing on a few priority questions. - Deliver a presentation of the findings once the analysis is completed, but before the reports are finalised. - Produce two full final reports (one for the call for evidence and one for the consultation) for internal use, which will inform the government response to the consultation exercises and policy development. To ensure quality of the reports, we require up to two drafts of each report before the final version, to be commented on by our team. We would like the reports to identify the key themes and findings for each question, identifying where a trend varies by respondent type, or has been given disproportionate weight due to a campaign (where organisation(s) submit duplicate responses). - Produce summary reports for each of the call for evidence and consultation, containing the overall key findings, which we could publish alongside the government response on gov.uk if we deem appropriate.
