The Institute of Education, Quality and Evaluation (EduQA) signed an emergency contract worth €406,380 plus VAT with Deloitte. The deal aims to fix digital system flaws during Portugal's secondary school exams
Direct Award Under Urgent Timeline
EduQA awarded the Deloitte national exam contract through direct negotiation on July 12th. Officials cited pressing urgency to prevent first-phase grading glitches from recurring. The contract runs through August 31st to cover second-phase national exams.
Technical Overhaul and Platform Integration
The initiative addresses EduQA digital exam system errors within the Classification and Supervision Platform (PCS) and the Online Classification System (SCOI). Deloitte introduced a Pre-PCS verification layer, improved QR code scanning, and streamlined data transfers. Over the last three years, digitizing Portugal's national exam process has cost more than seven million euros, reflecting growing Portugal exam correction platform costs.
