## Summary

The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) has completed a tender process for the project titled "PTQ Technical Assessment Reviews". This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focused on research and development services. The contract was awarded on 10th February 2021 and is valued at £102,000. The project aims to evaluate qualifications to ensure robust standards are met for their inclusion in performance tables by 2024. The contract period runs from 16th February 2021 to 9th July 2021, with the assessment's considerations rooted in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.
