The ICT support at the Trust is currently all delivered 'in house' through a central team who provide full technical support, installation services, technical support and Trust level strategic leadership.
The Trust does benefit from a degree of standardisation in its ICT solution, but at the same time is also cognisant that ICT solutions and technology is developing rapidly. This said, for some years the Trust has maintained a 'cloud first' strategy.
In terms of supply of goods and to a degree any necessary ad-hoc services the Trust has relied upon a mix of different organisations and manufacturers. To enable the Trust's IT team to focus on the management of ICT and also to not need to be concerned with the increasing challenges regarding ICT supply, multiple procurements and any 'call off' type implementation requirements the decision has been taken to identify an ICT Supply Partner. Further details of what the Supply Partner will need to provide are noted below but at a high level, the Partner will be responsible for the supply of equipment, software and add-hoc professional services through multiple ongoing projects over the lifetime of the contract.

Expressions of Interest are requested from experienced Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) to work with our Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Partnership - Exchange Teacher Training (ETT). Our ITT programme enables trainees to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) which entitles successful trainees to teach in England as a qualified teacher. However, we also want all our trainees to gain a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) to further enhance the academic rigour of the programme.
We are therefore seeking a HEI who will work closely with Exchange Teacher Training to offer a flexible programme of part-time study to Level 7 leading to the award of a PGCE.

In terms of communications the Trust have their own WAN which connects the schools to the data centre and then out to the internet. This has been successful for a number of years and schools have been added as they join the Trust. Given the scale of the WAN / associated services and the fact that the majority of the current connectivity is out of contract in January 2024 there is a need to re-tender the provision and identify a Trustwide Communications Partner.
