The engagement event aims to gather insights from the market regarding the future procurement of surveying services and an associated IT solution. This phase is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 21 June 2022. The event is scheduled to take place in Coventry on 29 June 2022, and agencies interested in participating must register by noon on the deadline date. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in building surveying and IT solutions, particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The project involves conducting a comprehensive data collection exercise across up to 5,000 secondary and special schools in England, making it an ideal fit for organisations with expertise in educational infrastructure assessments and data management. Engaging in this process could enhance visibility and lead to further collaborations with the DfE, as well as providing a chance to contribute to improving educational facilities across the country. ## Notice The Department for Education (DfE) is responsible for funding and standards in education, which includes supporting the delivery of building and maintenance programmes for schools, academies, free schools and sixth-form colleges. At our heart, we are the department for realising potential. In respect of our school buildings, our vision is to provide good quality spaces and places to help schools deliver an excellent education for all children and young people. The Net Capacity Assessment programme ("NCA") is a programme to undertake a data collection exercise of up to 5000 secondary schools and special schools in England; with the potential future inclusion of FE colleges. The data collected will encompass room level data such as room size, room use and room type, and will be collected by surveyors contracted to the DfE. DfE will also require a data capture solution to support the contracted surveyors to undertake this activity. The NCA is an understood methodology for assessing the number of pupil places available, 'the capacity', at a school. It provides a single, robust and consistent method of assessing the capacity of schools. An NCA Programme will ensure we have accurate, up to date data on the capacity of schools, to support decision making by the DfE and our stakeholders about how to use the school estate and target capital efficiently and the data will used by the Authority and local authorities to measure and plan School/FE College places provision. DfE requires suitably qualified organisations to undertake the assessments utilising the allocated data capture solution. The NCA programme will be undertaken between 2023 and 2025. The SOs will be required to work together with the aforementioned IT Solution supplier. This Early Engagement Notice is issued by the DfE to engage with the market seeking views for the potential for DfE's future procurement approach for the delivery of required Surveying Services and associated IT Solution. The event will outline the current thinking and provide information around the NCA Programme and seek views from industry specific organisations.
