## Summary

The Scottish Government is currently conducting a procurement process for the position of Project Manager for the National Standardised Assessments Re-Procurement, aimed at improving the delivery of assessments to publicly funded Scottish schools. This tender falls under the services category and is significantly focused on recruitment services. The procurement period is set to commence on 3rd August 2020 and will conclude on 2nd August 2021. The successful supplier will be expected to integrate both English and Gaelic assessments into a single platform, as the current contracts expire in 2021/22.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in recruitment and project management services, particularly those with experience in educational assessments or cloud-based solutions. Companies that can demonstrate a strong understanding of the Scottish educational framework and possess a proven track record in delivering similar projects will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this procurement process could lead to a significant contract valued at £128,400, thereby facilitating further growth and expansion within the educational services market.

## Notice

As part of the National Improvement Framework Programme, the Scottish Government has developed a cloud based platform for the delivery of national standardised assessments to publicly funded Scottish schools in both English (SNSA) and Gaelic (MCNG). These assessments are delivered by two contractors on behalf of the Scottish Government: SNSA by ACER UK Ltd; and MCNG by Giglets Ltd. These contracts are due to expire in 2021/22 and we are looking to re-procure a new supplier to provide the assessments - it has been decided that moving forward we will appoint a single contractor to provide assessments in both languages through a single platform. The national standardised assessment re-procurement project has been in place since autumn 2019, utilising existing members of the NIF Unit. A Technology Assurance Framework pre-procurement gateway review conducted in February 2020 identified the appointment of a dedicated, full-time project manager as critical to the success of the hence the desire to recruit a suitable project manager with immediate effect.
