Description

The purpose of this PIN is to initiate market consultation and is not being used as a call for competition. The PIN is intended to:
1. Raise awareness with the market of a potential future procurement process and to enable time for organisations to begin early discussions with the Department and each other as to how they may be able to deliver any future contract.
2. Inform the market that the Department will be undertaking market consultation activity during the coming weeks, to gather information about the supply market, to explore potential delivery models and associated benefits of those models, and to inform its understanding of the risks and issues relevant to managing transition to, and mobilisation of, any new service arrangements.
This will consist of a virtual event via MS Teams on Thursday 14th December at 2pm. If you are interested, please contact Sian.williams@education.gov.uk to arrange an invitation to the event. We intend to share the outcomes and any questions and answers from the event with all potential suppliers following the session.
