This project falls under the 'services' category, specifically classified as 'Technical analysis or consultancy services' and 'Project management consultancy services'. The contract, valued at £19,800, commenced on 1st January 2021 and concluded on 31st May 2021, with the procurement process being a single tender action. The primary delivery address for this contract is located in the West Midlands, England. This contract presents significant opportunities for consultancy and analysis firms, particularly those experienced in educational research and stakeholder engagement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for similar projects, as the procurement process encourages participation from such organisations. The focus on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on education creates a unique avenue for businesses that specialise in educational assessments, policy analysis, and project management to expand their portfolios and contribute to vital research in the education sector. ## Notice COVID-19 Learning Loss Project 2020-21 - stakeholder perceptions The aim of this research is to track and explore opinion on learning loss related to the COVID-19 pandemic, with an emphasis on General Qualifications and certain Vocational Technical Qualifications (those used to support progression to further or higher education). We will focus on the perceptions of students taking assessments in these qualifications in 2021, as well as their teachers and parents. More specifically, we aim to gauge their perceptions of the delivery and award of GCSEs, A levels and certain VTQs during summer 2021, in terms of: practicality; validity; fairness; and differences in preparedness across learners in different circumstances. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ab69692-9184-4f99-b938-30750609221b | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 May 2021 | | Submission deadline | 19 Nov 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Nov 2020 | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2021 - 31 May 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £19,800 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £16,800 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFFICE OF QUALIFICATIONS AND EXAMINATIONS REGULATION (OFQUAL) | | Locality | COVENTRY | | Post town | Coventry | | Postcode | CV1 3BH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG33 Coventry | | Local authority | Coventry | | Electoral ward | Sherbourne | | Westminster constituency | Coventry North West | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | PROFESSOR ROGER MURPHY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 72224000 - Project management consultancy services ## Release History - 31 May 2021 at 09:05 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ab69692-9184-4f99-b938-30750609221b - 31 May 2021 at 09:00 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ab69692-9184-4f99-b938-30750609221b - 28 May 2021 at 10:20 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ab69692-9184-4f99-b938-30750609221b - 27 May 2021 at 13:42 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ab69692-9184-4f99-b938-30750609221b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8ab69692-9184-4f99-b938-30750609221b 31st May 2021 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY161959 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://ofqual.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
