Details

Our ambition is to build a Digital Public Service to support teachers and leaders to combine research with professional judgement to make decisions that improve outcomes in their settings, particularly for socio-economically disadvantaged children and young people.

This commission is much more than a technology refresh. It is the first critical step in a wider transformation of our technology, engagement model and ways of working. It should deliver two things:

A working, user-centered digital product that helps educators find, understand and apply evidence when they need it.

The capabilities and product culture to deliver an effective service that the EEF can own, sustain and improve.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this it & telecom opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
