Trialling Framework 2022-25 - Market Engagement Event

The Standards and Testing Agency is wishing to establish a new framework for procuring trialling services for 3 years between June 2022 and June 2025. Ahead of commencing any future procurement, we wish to engage with the market to outline our requirements and explain how potential bidders may ready themselves for any procurement process that may follow. The publication of this notice does not signify the commencement of any procurement process and does not constitute any commitment by the Department of Education to undertake any procurement exercise. In the event that the Department of Education might decide to commence any procurement process as contemplated by this notice, a separate notice will be published at the relevant time. The DfE is keen to ensure that potential suppliers have as much notice as is possible about the services we wish to procure and this supports our agenda about encouraging engagement with Small and Medium Suppliers.
