## Summary

North Ayrshire Council has completed the procurement process for a "Standardised Assessment Digital Platform for Primary and Secondary Schools," classified under the education and training services category. This contract was awarded on 16th May 2025 and will commence on 19th May 2025, running until 19th May 2028, with an option to extend for up to 24 months depending on satisfactory performance and funding. The procurement followed a limited process without prior publication of a call for competition, owing to technical reasons that limited the service provision to a single supplier, GL Assessment Ltd. The service delivery is intended for the UKM93 region.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in digital education platforms and services to understand procurement avenues that may not follow standard competitive bidding due to technical specialization. Large organisations similar to GL Assessment Ltd, which possess unique capabilities in developing standardised educational assessments, may find such scenarios particularly beneficial, as they can leverage their specialised offerings in situations where competition is minimal due to the proprietary nature of the service required. Although this particular contract was awarded on the basis of technical exclusivity, businesses can still utilise this model to understand niche market opportunities and position themselves accordingly in future tenders.
