Work description
Following the completion of the tender evaluation process, the Department for Education, Standards and Testing Agency (STA) have appointed five suppliers to the STA Trialling and Sampling Framework.
The initial term of the framework is three years, with the option to extend for an additional 12 months.
This framework will support the delivery of high-quality, reliable test development services, including Item Validation Trials (IVTs), Technical Pre-Tests (TPTs), and sampling activities. These services are essential to the STA's delivery of national curriculum assessments, helping to ensure that assessments remain inclusive, free from bias, and aligned with Ofqual's regulatory requirements.
