Software, internet connectivity, virus protection and a helpdesk will be provided under the framework agreement, Becta said.
According to the notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 4 February 2010, the assistive services will help around 12,000 eligible learners in England use its Home Access programme.
A maximum of six suppliers will participate in the contract, which may be extended after the initial two year period for a further two years. It may also be extended to other public sector organisations.
Becta has also published a separate tender for learner evaluation and case management services. It will pay between £1m and £4m over one year for data processing, document management and administration services, computer related management and professional services, also for its Home Access programme.
