Abstract

Qualifications Wales wishes to develop a guidance document which proposes standardised terminology, with accompanying definitions, for processes and activities carried out to meet quality assurance requirements. We intend for this document to be made available to awarding bodies and centres to act as a reference tool that supports the development, implementation and administration of qualifications and assessments. To support the development of this guidance, we are seeking a supplier to:  undertake a desk-based review of existing terminology and how it is used across a range of 14-16 qualifications, exploring the differences and consistencies in its application, and key lines of enquiry for the next stage engage with awarding bodies (including any relevant awarding body associations) and centres to explore their working understanding and application of quality assurance-related terminology produce a final recommendations document for standardised terminology, informed by the previous activity stages.
