Notice Title

Pre Market engagement - MIS Synchronisation Tool - Lift Schools

Notice Description

Lift Schools wish to engage with suitably qualified suppliers for pre market engagement in respect of a potential procurement of the above. We are seeking a flexible and adaptable synchronisation tool that offers excellent value for money. It must meet the functional needs of our academies, comply with statutory requirements set out by the Department for Education, and be customisable to suit the individual needs of our schools and the wider Trust. Reducing the administrative burden on staff is central to our Technology and Business strategies. For example, by adding a student to a school roll in the MIS, the synchronisation tool should automatically create the necessary user accounts for Google Workspace and other interconnected platforms. We aim to partner with an organisation that is proactive, innovative, and forward-thinking. The chosen provider must also respond promptly to the evolving needs of our schools and Lift Schools as a whole. The tool must include a comprehensive API that covers all database aspects to enable seamless integration with other commercially available products.
