Given the nature of the procurement, larger or more established businesses with a strong track record in educational service provision are likely to be well-suited to compete. Smaller enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this opportunity less tailored to their capabilities, as suitability criteria do not favour them. Engaging with this contract could enhance the business’s portfolio and open avenues for future collaborations with public sector entities.
