DAC 38/24 DE - CCEA - Specialist Support for the Development of Computer Adaptive Tests (CATs)

Tender description

CCEA are currently engaging with the Department of Education on the long-term review of Statutory Assessment. The potential of CAT as a solution will be integral to the discussions. Stakeholder feedback from the CCEA Adaptive Assessments will play an integral role in this review into the longer-term provision of assessment across NI. CCEA therefore seeks to Award a DAC to enable the current contract to continue for a period of three years to ensure continuity of assessment services to schools (April 24 – March 27); and subsequent to a review on statutory assessment, commence a tender process for the provision of a long-term contract (up to ten years) for the provision of online adaptive assessment services (if recommended in outcomes from the review).
