This procurement is currently at the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 15th March 2021. The contract period will commence on 12th April 2021 and will run until 31st July 2022. The total value of the contract is £150,000 and falls under the category of research and development services related to educational technology, specifically aimed at enhancing pupil attainment and reducing teacher workload across schools and colleges in the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational consultancy and programme evaluation, particularly those with experience in the use of technology within academic settings. Companies that can demonstrate a strong understanding of digital strategies in education, alongside a proven track record in conducting evaluations, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, aligning with the government's commitment to support diverse supplier capabilities in public procurement. ## Notice Expressions of interest (EOI) are sought to conduct an interim and final evaluation for a second phase of the EdTech Demonstrator programme. Throughout 2021-22, the existing support network will continue to provide advice, guidance and training on effective use of technology. This support will act as key pillar to catch-up and recovery plans and will also help schools and colleges secure a sustainable digital strategy that sits at the heart of wider improvement plans. Evaluation of this programme will support future policy considerations, specifically on the ways technology can boost pupil attainment, reduce teacher workload, and find wider cost efficiencies. As such, applicants should have: Experience and expertise in conducting robust programme evaluations. A knowledge of the use of technology in schools and colleges, both to support delivery of the curriculum and day-to-day operations. Experience working directly with schools and colleges.
