### Lot Information

Lot 1

To support the delivery of a UK national information centre to implement the Lisbon Recognition Convention and the Global Convention (the UK ENIC), the Department for Education requires a range of Services in relation to the Assessment of Qualifications and/or the recognition of Qualifications and comparability of non-UK Qualifications with those of the UK as set out in this Schedule. The Services will be provided to a variety of users, including individuals with non-UK Qualifications/skills, government departments both in the UK and internationally, academic institutions, professional/regulatory bodies, commercial companies and employers. The Supplier will also be responsible for the provision of information on the education and training systems in the UK to support the international recognition of UK Qualifications. The Secretary of State for the Home Department, acting through UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), seeks to award a Service Contract to a supplier for the Provision of UK Visa Qualification Equivalency and English Proficiency Assessment Services. The Contract will be for an initial 5-year term including 2 optional 12-month extension periods (5+1+1). This service will evaluate and assure evidence from customers who hold International educational qualifications. The service will also check and assure International educational qualifications for equivalency to UK educational standards and levels, assuring the credibility and authenticity of the certificate and qualifications as required under Home Office immigration policy as part of a UK visa application process. A single successful supplier shall be awarded both the DfE contract and the Home Office contract. The procurement process that will award both contracts will be carried out electronically through the DfE's profile on Jaggaer, an online e-Procurement Solution portal. Potential bidders should therefore ensure they are registered on this portal, under the name of the legal organisation that intends to enter into the contracts to deliver the services.
