First Federation Trust wishes to engage a single contractor to supply an ICT Managed Service and associated project implementation and training services across all sites within the Trust. This procurement involves the delivery of ICT across all the schools as part of a joined up programme of work, whilst at the same time being able to be flexible to deal with ad-hoc purchases and small projects that individual schools may need from time to time – all to a set of standards. At the same time a high quality managed service needs to be consistently delivered.

Lot Description: Given the value involved and the critical nature of ICT to support teaching learning and management it is vital the Trust and Supplier establishes an operating model that not only works for both parties but also delivers both to time and understanding the nuances of working in an educational environment. From the information provided it is absolutely clear that this procurement is all about delivery of ICT across all the schools as part of a joined up programme of work, whilst at the same time being able to be flexible to deal with ad-hoc purchases and small projects that individual schools may need from time to time– all to a set of standards. At the same time a high quality managed service needs to be consistently delivered. It is therefore critical that all parties know what is going on when and whilst formal monthly reporting is clearly a key necessity so is establishing an effective operating model that is resourced at the right times with the right people who can interface with both staff at Trust and school level.
