The brief

Explore education statistics (EES) is a digital service used by analysts within the Department for Education (DfE) to create and publish official and national statistics releases.

The service is in public beta and is relied on by users, with the department having regulatory requirements for keeping its statistical service publicly available.

We require that the service is continually worked on, with bugs and issues addressed as they are raised and a regular flow of small feature optimisations to ensure it continues to meet the needs of the users including accessibility standards.

Maintenance and minor enhancement of the service throughout the duration of the contract whilst enhancement work is taking place through other Statements of Work.

We expect this to include monitoring and optimisation of the service as well as bug fixing.
