## Summary

The Department for Education bought technical and quality assurance testing (QAT) digital capability to support its Schools Digital portfolio. The requirement was for a partner to provide these capabilities as part of the portfolio, rather than for a defined standalone software product. The work is classified as IT services, covering consulting, software development, internet and support. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Department for Education, based in London. The contract concerns digital technical and testing capability for the department’s schools-related digital services.

The procurement has been awarded to Adroc Limited, based in Romford, and the contract is active. It was signed on 26 August 2024. The contract value is £22.5 million. The contract period runs from 26 August 2024 to 25 February 2028. The original tender period recorded for the requirement ended on 25 February 2027. The contract modification increases the agreement’s value to support delivery while Schools Digital portfolios are reviewed and reprocurements are undertaken; the stated rationale says it does not extend the scope. The data identifies one lot but does not give the procedure, evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement from the Department for Education, this award demonstrates demand for a partner able to supply technical and quality assurance testing capability across a digital portfolio supporting schools. Credible competitors would need to show they can provide technical digital expertise and rigorous quality assurance testing, and deliver these capabilities in support of a portfolio rather than a single product. The buyer’s rationale for the contract modification highlights continuity of critical services while portfolios are reviewed and reprocurements are undertaken, pointing to the importance of dependable service delivery through change. The selected supplier is a large company, indicating that a supplier able to support delivery at portfolio scale was successful; the requirement itself does not state mandatory accreditations or specific experience thresholds.
