    Brief

    Ofsted is conducting market engagement for a new fully managed Service Desk contract via the GCA Technology Services 4 Framework (RM6190 Lot 3a). The current contract ends in March 2027, with procurement expected to commence in 2026. The successful supplier will provide a single point of contact for approximately 4,000 Ofsted staff to report IT issues, submit requests, and receive resolutions. Key responsibilities include: supporting home, office, and remote-based users through multiple channels (telephone, ServiceNow portal, webchat); logging, categorising, and prioritising incidents; conducting initial investigations and resolving issues at first contact where possible; and coordinating with multiple support teams to meet response times and service level agreements. This is a pre-market engagement notice to shape the upcoming tender process. Engagement is currently limited to suppliers already on the GCA Framework.
