The tender process began with an open procurement method, seeking expressions of interest for research to be conducted from January to March and again from June to July, focusing on usage in schools piloting complete curriculum programmes. The tender period ended on 17 November 2018, while the associated contract period spans from 1 January 2019 to 31 October 2019. The contract value is £93,205, awarded to CooperGibson Research. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in research and development consultancy services, particularly those that can engage with educational institutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be especially suited to compete in this tender, as the requirements indicate a preference for their participation. Companies that can leverage qualitative research methods and work effectively with educators will find valuable prospects in this contract. ## Notice Expressions of interest are sought to conduct research with teachers and heads of subject in schools piloting complete curriculum programmes. This research will help the Department understand how best to develop and implement curriculum programmes across different subjects, key stages and school settings; and to establish their potential to reduce workload and improve pupil outcomes. We are proposing a mixed method approach comprising an online survey, in-depth telephone interviews and focus groups. Research will be conducted across two stages during the pilot: stage 1 (January - March) and stage 2 (June - July).
