Lot Information

Lot 1

We expect primary academies to join this contract with effect from the September 2023 intake of pupils. Five secondary academies would continue to be supplied under existing contracts until the September 2024 intake. A sixth secondary academy would join this contract if it was extended into a secondary period. We are looking for a supplier partner who offers high quality in terms of goods and customer service for parents/carers and our schools that are 'fit for purpose' and can also offer excellent value for money over the entire contract period. Anglian Learning is a growing Multi Academy Trust operating in Cambridgeshire, West Suffolk and North Essex, formed in 2016. The Trust currently comprises 6 secondary schools and 9 primary schools. Another primary school is expected to open in September 2024 and will join this tender. Given the academisation agenda is likely that other schools will join the Trust over the life of the contract and we would seek to add them to this arrangement as their existing contracts with suppliers permit. Our members share the firm belief that successful learning communities are underpinned by ambitious vision, trust and strong inspirational leadership at all levels of the organisation; that excellence is not simply defined by Ofsted grades and league table positions; and that education can play a transformational role in the lives of children and the success and wellbeing of our wider society. Through membership of Anglian Learning, these goals are achieved by working with like-minded schools, leaders, teachers and all staff who are prepared to share responsibility, through support and challenge, to ensure that all our academies can offer an excellent education to all pupils, whatever their background and starting point. The core vision of Anglian Learning is to enable dynamic, empowered learners who thrive ad lead in their communities: locally, nationally and globally. Our four core values and principles guide our work to achieve our vision: Aspiration We are ambitious for ourselves and all those in our community to be the best we can be Community We underpin our relationships with a culture of support, respect and trust, recognising we are stronger together Empowerment We enable our academies, staff and learners to embrace new ideas and think creatively Inclusivity We believe in equality of opportunity, celebrating everyone's differences and supporting learners of all abilities from all backgrounds Please find the list of current schools within the Trust below: Secondary Schools: *Bassingbourn Village College *Bottisham Village College *Sawston Village College *Joyce Frankland Academy Newport *Linton Village College *The Netherhall School and Oakes Sixth Form College Primary Schools: *Bottisham Community Primary School *Fen Ditton Primary School *Stapleford Community Primary School *Linton Heights Junior School *The Pines Primary School *Howard Primary Academy *Marleigh Primary Academy *Meadow Primary School *Icknield Primary School *A new primary school currently scheduled to open in September 2024. Please also note that this is a growing Trust and should any other schools join this Trust during the course of this contract, these schools may, at the discretion of the client, and as their existing supplier contracts permit, be added to this contract. Please note that the Trust is ideally looking to appoint one contractor across all schools. However, each school reserves the right to make its own appointment decision and reserves the right not to appoint any contractor bidding for this contract. See SQ document for more information.
