About the Proposed Item Writing Services Framework procurement As part of the test development process, the Standards and Testing Agency (STA) requires suppliers experienced in item writing to support the development of the Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 National Curriculum tests. As part of the test development process, the DfE requires a number of suppliers who are capable of understanding the relevant programmes of study, test frameworks and curricula for particular tests and developing high-quality test items, with accompanying mark schemes and/or coding frames. Successful suppliers will be added to the Item Writing Framework 2020-2023 and will have the opportunity to bid for each call-off from the framework between 1 August 2020 - 31 July 2023. Once an organisation has been accepted on to the framework, they will bid for item writing contracts. An invitation to quote (ITQ) will be disseminated to all those on the framework for all work. Each call-off from this framework will provide requirement details including the subject and content domain areas, item types, mark range, difficulty range and other desired properties.
