What the notice says

Our ambition is to build a Digital Public Service to support teachers and leaders to combine research with professional judgement to make decisions that improve outcomes in their settings, particularly for socio-economically disadvantaged children and young people. This commission is much more than a technology refresh. It is the first critical step in a wider transformation of our technology, engagement model and ways of working. It should deliver two things: A working, user-centered digital product that helps educators find, understand and apply evidence when they need it. The capabilities and product culture to deliver an effective service that the EEF can own, sustain and improve.
