QQI is the Qualifications and Quality Assurance Authority of Ireland with responsibility for (among other things) - the external quality assurance of providers of further education (FET) and training or higher education (HE) (providers) in Ireland including designated, delegated and listed awarding bodies. - the external quality assurance of designated and listed awarding bodies that are not providers. - the provision of statutory guidelines on the quality assurance of education, training, research and related services. - determining national policies and criteria for access, transfer and progression in relation to learners (ATP), and monitoring the implementation of procedures for ATP by providers. - promoting, maintaining, further developing and implementing the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ), which is a system of levels and types for awards of qualifications based on standards of knowledge, skill or competence . - deciding which awards are included in the NFQ. - facilitating the recognition of qualifications inside and outside the state. Those functions operate at system level or at the level of organisations providing programmes of education and training (providers). QQI is also an awarding body. It established standards for its awards, and awards qualifications to persons who have completed programmes of education and training that it has validated (validation is approval of a programme prior to its delivery) that are offered by providers of programmes without the authority to award NFQ qualifications. It can also delegate its authority to providers meeting certain criteria. Updating QQI’s assessment infrastructure may require changes/supplementation to, or impact upon, all the above in due course. It is important to appreciate that QQI’s infrastructure is primarily focussed on the quality assurance of standards-based formative and summative assessment and is not intended to guide on how to assess learners in specific situations.

Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI)DublinDeadline: Sep 30QQI is the Qualifications and Quality Assurance Authority of Ireland with responsibility for (among other things) • the external quality assurance of providers of further education (FET) and training or higher education (HE) (providers) in Ireland including designated, delegated and listed awarding bodies. • the external quality assurance of designated and listed awarding bodies that are not providers. • the provision of statutory guidelines on the quality assurance of education, training, research and related services. • determining national policies and criteria for access, transfer and progression in relation to learners (ATP), and monitoring the implementation of procedures for ATP by providers. • promoting, maintaining, further developing and implementing the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ), which is a system of levels and types for awards of qualifications based on standards of knowledge, skill or competence . • deciding which awards are included in the NFQ. • facilitating the recognition of qualifications inside and outside the state. In summary the services comprise the establishment of a validated evidence base for QQI to use when updating its standards-based assessment infrastructure for further education and training and higher education in Ireland. QQI wishes to discover stakeholders’ views on issues that might be addressed in that regard including what is working well and what is not. The focus is on the quality assurance of assessment including its interpretations and uses and not on specific techniques for assessment. It is also seeking to better understand the national context for standards-based assessment including how awarding bodies in Ireland satisfy themselves of the effectiveness of their standards-based assessment-related policies considering that assessment has both summative and formative purposes. Finally, QQI is interested in a comparison of practices of a selection of awarding bodies, providers, quality assurance agencies, andNew Procurement - Strategic Foresight in regard to the exam scheme and stance assessment.
UtdanningsdirektoratetOSLODeadline: Aug 14In 2025, the Norwegian Directorate of Education and Training (Udir) received a comprehensive assignment from the Ministry of Education and Research (KD) to examine a safer and improved exam scheme in sixth form education. The aim of the KD assignment is to develop a sustainable exam scheme that tolerates change, which reduces risk and reduces costs. In addition the desired effect for the target groups is that the assignment from KD shall ensure a good connection with curricula in the subject(s) and that the quality principles in the framework for exams are adhered to. The background for the assignment from KD is, among other things, that the exam scheme in the last 5-6 years has been marked by a number of concurrent changes and events that affect the complexity and risk of the exam, including: Implementation of new curricula, as well as the need to further develop the content and format of exam development and the introduction of a new digital systemPandemienInduction of KI in societySelv if the exam is the assignment from KD's main focus. Must also be seen in the context of the stance assessment: The exam character and the stance character have the same purpose, i.e. an expression of the pupil's competence at the end of the training in the subject. The connection between these two schemes is significant for the future final evaluation scheme in disciplines, including the role of the exam. This is detailed in 5.1.The review of the assignment from KD lasts for several years and will assess all aspects of what is currently a very complex system, but also how the exams should be in the future. The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training has therefore appointed an internal work group that shall work on a strategic forward process in relation to the assignment from KD. Strategic foresight is about combining analyses of long term trends and possible futures with inter-disciplinary cooperation and anchoring. The foresight methodology can function as an important tool for navigating uncertainties and identifying possibilities. Udir will use the methodology in relation to the assignment in this procurement, given the complex character of the exam system, as well as uncertainties connected to the future of the exams. The tenderer shall assist Udir's internal work group in identifying driving forces for the final assessment as well as developing future scenarios by utilising the foresight methodology. See further description in point 1-3 under point 5.2 below. The mapping of driving forces shall occur in cooperation with different groups of interested parties. The interested parties, for example, include the different interest organisations connected to the education field, as well as other interested parties such as counties, the Government Manager, professional environments, suppliers of technical systems etc. The forwarding work is limited to apply to a study preparatory education programme and joint subjects in sixth form education. The assignment shall be implemented by 1 September 2027. The cost limit for the main assignment is NOK 1.2 million excluding VAT. In addition the contracting authority would like to enter into an option for an extension and extension of the assignment for 1 year, see point 5.4. The option is for exams in vocational subjects. See points 4 and 5 in the tender documentation for a complete description of the delivery. The Norwegian Directorate of Education and Training reserves the right to make political decisions that can lead to changes in the scope of the assignment.RFT 01/2026 Fire Door Maintenance at Peamount Healthcare
