Description
DfE are seeking a Supplier to develop a benchmarking application that can be accessed directly by schools. This should allow schools to easily access price comparison across a key basket of school supply goods from a subset of key suppliers. The successful Supplier will work with DfE and the initial batch of participating schools to define their basket of goods. Products should be benchmarked on a weekly basis. Products should be matched on a “good, better and best” matching method to ensure, where possible, value items and brand names are captured. The application should indicate the best value option. The first iteration of the application should be available to the first wave of participating schools by the end of the first quarterly period (by approximately February 2026). The application will be free at the point of use for participating schools. The successful Supplier will hold monthly update calls with DfE and attend quarterly contract management meetings (virtual unless otherwise arranged).
