Description

This proposal is to establish a new contractual arrangement to support Ofsted's Communications team with flexible, on-demand editorial resource.

The intention is to appoint multiple suppliers to a small pool, enabling Ofsted to call off services as required, ensuring flexibility, resilience, and continuity of service.

The recommended approach is via a below-threshold open competition, advertised via Contracts Finder.

In addition, targeted market engagement will be undertaken via the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) to raise awareness of the opportunity among relevant suppliers.

Interested suppliers will be required to submit bids via a formal procurement route ensuring a compliant and auditable competition.

The outcome will be the appointment of a small pool of suppliers (limited companies only).

Contracts will be awarded on a non-exclusive basis, with services called off as required through individual work packages.
