In a clear signal that their strategy is to move well beyond making and selling equipment, RM announced that it has signed a managed service contract to provide on-screen marking services to Cambridge Assessment (CA).

Worth £21m over five years, the contract is the largest RM has won for its e-marking system scoris. RM’s services to CA will include:

  • scanning and online hosting of original exam scripts
  • electronic distribution of scripts to markers
  • on-screen marking

Simon Lebus, Chief Executive of Cambridge Assessment, described the project as, ‘vital to Cambridge Assessment’ with Tim Pearson, RM’s CEO commenting that, ‘assessment and data is an increasingly important business area for RM’.
