## Summary

This procurement process, conducted by Edinburgh College, pertains to the establishment of a Framework for Learning Needs Assessors, aimed at providing specialised needs assessment services on a call-off basis. The process, which has reached the award stage as of 1st October 2024, involves the procurement of services through a restricted procedure under the "Education" industry category (COFOG code 09), with related CPV codes including 85000000 and 85100000. Key dates in this process include the tender submission deadline on 10th July 2024 and contract award notice on 11th November 2024. The project will be implemented across various regions in the UK, primarily within the UKM75 postcode area (Edinburgh and surrounding regions). The total contract value is £690,000, indicating a significant investment in educational support services by Edinburgh College.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for SMEs specialising in educational assessments and consultancy services to engage with a reputable academic institution. Successful bidders, including Boyle Training and Consultancy Service Ltd, DL Assessments, and several individual assessors, have already been awarded contracts, highlighting the value and demand for niche expertise in learning needs assessments. Businesses operating within the realm of educational support, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality and cost-effective assessment services, are well-positioned to leverage this framework agreement to expand their operations and secure steady streams of projects. Given the competitive nature of the selection process and the emphasis on both quality and pricing criteria, suppliers with a strong track record in education and consultancy can achieve significant growth and establish long-term partnerships with Edinburgh College.
