Market Testing for Home Office English Language Testing (HOELT) Services: Fourth Request for Information
Descriptions
The Secretary of State for the Home Department, through UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), is reviewing options for the future procurement of a Home Office English Language Test (HOELT), to be delivered in the UK and internationally.
Some immigration routes require applicants to demonstrate English language proficiency. The HOELT will assess speaking, listening, and, where applicable, reading and writing skills between CEFR levels A1 and C1.
UKVI intends to procure a dedicated, Home Office-branded test with two core elements:
1. Test Provision
The supplier will be responsible for:
• Developing, maintaining, and updating the test content
• Providing a secure test delivery system
• Marking tests, returning verified results, and conducting post-test verification
• Evaluating and moderating test performance
• Performing robust anti-fraud checks
• Securing independent assurance of test quality and integrity
2. Test Facilitation
The supplier will be responsible for:
• Operating an online platform for test booking and result delivery
• Establishing and managing global test centres
• Providing trained invigilators
• Conducting secure ID verification and ensuring strict exam conditions
• Supporting audit processes to uphold security and delivery standards
Please note: that there are 268 test centres operating across 142 countries globally.
This 4th round of Market Engagement is being undertaken, to gather market insights on newly available and emerging technology in relation to remote testing, and the viability of incorporating this into the HOELT service.
