Its 'Summer Symposium' deck strongly implies the model was developed in-house by @ofqual itself:

...'Expert Advisory Board' but it's unclear whether this is different from / separate to @ofqual's 'Standards Advisory Group': gov.uk/government/org… - and as no Board papers have been published since September 2019, it's rather difficult to tell.

The only contract...

...@ofqual appears to have awarded on #ContractsFinder in 2020 is for printing and reprographics: contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ca173d4… - though I'd be wary of assuming no other tenders occurred; Government and ALBs have strayed 'off framework' quite a bit during the pandemic.

Information from organisations that you'd expect to know - like @pearson - appears to put the ball firmly in @ofqual's court too: qualifications.pearson.com/en/campaigns/p… - though the phrase "developed by" can cover a multitude of sins!

Meanwhile, if you still can't get through via #Ofqual, its Chair's e-mail address - also Chair of @CDEIUK & former 'National Professional Advisor' to @CareQualityComm - though he hasn't tweeted since March (& his DMs aren't open 👇) is a matter of public record for his other role

And this, from a member of @ofqual's standing advisory committee, is pretty clear on what they were directed to do:
