Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) awarded a contract to K&P Crabtree Consultancy Ltd, Newman Burdett, Kath Thomas Consulting Limited, Anne Pinot De Moira, and Alison Wood for technical assessment reviews of qualifications.

The reviews involved analysing allotted sets of qualifications and making recommendations to ensure that only valid and robust qualifications can be used by centres for accountability purposes through inclusion on the performance tables in 2024, so that only robust and valid qualifications receive public funding.

The reviews included an evaluation of submission documentation against a set of technical questions addressing key aspects of the qualifications, such as the appropriateness of content in relation to the level and purpose of the qualifications, and the quality of sample assessment materials and approach to standard setting.

The contract value was AUD 20,400.
