Description
Thank you to everyone who has been working with us on the development of the Data Spine programme. We are now preparing to move into the next phase of development. As a result, we have decided to pause activity relating to Lot 1 (Proof of Concept) while we focus on this new phase. We expect to make a broader announcement about the future of the Data Spine programme in the autumn and look forward to continuing to work with you as the programme develops. If you have provided the Department for Education (DfE) with test data, we will contact you separately regarding arrangements for data handling and any next steps. Thank you for your continued engagement and support.
