## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Somerset County Council, involves a contract for the provision of moderation services for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 education in the South West of England. This tender was formally published on 25th August 2017 and has a total contract value of £30,000. The procurement method used is an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 15th September 2017, while the contract period is set to commence on 9th October 2017 and run until 31st August 2018.

This opportunity offers significant potential for local businesses, particularly those involved in educational services, moderation, or training sectors, to expand their operations in the public education sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the work aligns well with their capacity to deliver specialised services. This tender not only positions winning bidders as key service providers for Somerset County Council but also enables them to demonstrate their expertise and enhance their visibility within the education sector.

## Notice

Somerset County Council, as the Local Authority, has a statutory responsibility to externally moderate a minimum sample of 25% of its maintained schools, within both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, plus 25% of academies at each Key Stage that opt to be included in SCC's external moderation provision. SCC is looking to delegate its responsibility for the Key Stage One (KS1) and Key Stage Two (KS2) moderation process to the successful Contractor.
