W5023 The provision of The School Improvement Service, The Quality Assurance Service and The Moderation Service

Description

The council is looking to procure one provider to deliver a school improvement service, a quality assurance service for alternative provision and a moderation service provision. The Moderation Service is a statutory service under The Education (National Curriculum) (Key Stage 2 Assessment Arrangements) (England) Order 2003, which was made pursuant to section 87 of the Education Act 2002. The Moderation Service therefore plays a central role in enabling the Council to fulfil its statutory duties to oversee performance, secure improvement, assure safeguarding practice, and ensure the accuracy of statutory assessment.
