This is known as Technical Assessment under Route E.
Route E assessments are run on a cyclical basis. The cycles for 2020/2021 are set out below but may be subject to change:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Submission Deadline (12 noon) | 24 February 2020 | 21 September 2020 | 22 February 2021 | 20 September 2021 |
