Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) Contract Type:
The Department for Education (DfE) is responsible for funding and standards in
education, which includes supporting the delivery of building and maintenance
programmes for schools, academies, free schools and sixth-form colleges. At our heart, we are the department for realising potential. In respect of our school buildings, our vision is to provide good quality spaces and places to help schools deliver an excellent education for all children and young people.
The Net Capacity Assessment programme ("NCA") is a programme to undertake a data collection exercise of up to 5000 secondary schools and special schools in England; with the potential future inclusion of FE Colleges.
The data collected will encompass room level data such as room size, room use and
room type, and will be collected by surveyors contracted to the DfE. DfE will also require a data capture solution to support the contracted surveyors to undertake this activity. The NCA programme will be undertaken between 2023 and 2025.
It is anticipated that the NCA data capture solution will comprise a cloud based SaaS
solution that will provide (inter alia):
(i) Capability for a field based data collection of DfE defined data for both school and FE establishments via surveyor operated mobile device app
(ii) Development and manipulation of the data by surveyor organisation teams via a web app
(iii) Automated nightly transfer of collected data to the Department of Education via
mature API, configurable to meet DfE integration and security requirements
(iv) Functionality to ensure secure and configurable reporting / export of data for end
users
(v) Adherence to all departmental supplier and system assurance requirements covering data security and data processing.
This Early Engagement Notice is issued by the DfE to engage with the market seeking views for the potential for DfE's future procurement approach for the delivery of required Surveying Services and associated IT Solution.
The market engagement event will outline the current thinking and provide information around the NCA Programme and seek views for industry specific organisations.
