## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking a Content Partner through this tender titled "National Assessment and Accreditation system (NAAS) for Child and Family Social Workers: Future Content Development and Maintenance Service." This procurement, classified under the social work services category, is set in Manchester, United Kingdom. The current stage of the procurement process is tender, and the contract value for the extension from 2022 to 2023 is £600,000, while the original contract was awarded at £1,300,000. This procurement relates to the ongoing national rollout of the NAAS, which began in July 2018, with the extension indicating a strong commitment to service continuity. Key dates include the extension period valid until 31st March 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the social services and content development sectors, particularly those with expertise in creating assessment materials and training content for social workers. Companies capable of validating and maintaining assessment content and with experience working with educational frameworks would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in shaping the quality and effectiveness of social work training and assessment across the UK.

## Notice

The Department is appointing a Content Partner to generate, validate and maintain assessment content for the NAAS to support national rollout scheduled to commence in spring 2020. Initial rollout of NAAS began in a 2-phased rollout in July 2018 (Phase 1) with a small group of volunteer local authorities. We expect Phase 2 to start in spring 2019 with a larger, more demographically diverse group. Subject to successful implementation of Phase 1 and 2, we would expect full national rollout of NAAS from spring 2020.
