Professional Learning Service Tool

Descriptions

This is a contract award notice to inform of Welsh Government's decision to award a contract to appoint a supplier to continue to provide access to a bilingual asynchronous professional learning tool.

This Contract Award Notice follows the publication of a previous Transparency Notice on 02/07/2025 advising of Welsh Government's intention to award the contract. The system in question is unique product and has bespoke design features intended to support an understanding of curriculum design expectations for schools and settings across Wales, coherent with a purpose-led, process orientated Curriculum for Wales.

The contractor is required to support Welsh Government with preparation and delivery of professional learning, focussing on:

1. The key components of the Curriculum for Wales Framework and its practical requirements in schools and settings.

2. The strategies that may be used to help design an engaging and agile curriculum based on learner progression coherent with Curriculum for Wales.

3. Considerations for school planning, designing and implementing Curriculum for Wales.

4. The purpose of assessment in Curriculum for Wales and its requirements for designing assessment arrangements to support learner progression.

As noted in the Transparency Notice, the supplier in question holds exclusive rights for the tool in the form of intellectual property rights. It is the opinion of Welsh Government that the contract therefore satisfies the requirements of paragraph 41 Direct Award in Special Cases and Schedule 5 part (5) (a) (b) of the Procurement Act 2023.
