Slough & East Berkshire Multi Academy Trust ICT Service

Notice Description

Slough and East Berkshire Multi-Academy Trust (SEBMAT) is a Trust of 7 Academies encompassing c.4,214 pupils. SEBMAT has a growth strategy that over the next 5 years the Trust aims to incorporate more schools so that it is a 10 school organisation. Slough and East Berkshire Church of England Multi-Academy Trust (SEBMAT) has been established to form a group of schools which can support each other to ensure the best possible outcomes for the young people in Slough and the nearby areas. This group of schools includes primary and secondary schools and has a Christian ethos. This does not prevent non-Church of England schools joining the Trust as we enshrine a wide values base.

The ICT Support at the Trust is currently provided internally. The team who deliver a mix of both onsite and remote support.

In school, 'adds, moves and changes' will continue to be carried out by SEBMAT staff. Going forward - This procurement This procurement encompasses the items noted below. At the sole discretion of the Trust any future schools that the Trust may incorporate into the Trust will also be added to the ICT contract. Any additional schools will co-terminate to the same end date as the initial contract. The new service provider will also deliver a range of technology and change management projects to go ahead as soon as possible. The main focus of these projects is to address technology issues in schools and 'join up' the schools into a single network provision. A full technical analysis of each school will be provided to shortlisted bidders at the ITT Stage. The companies identified from these shortlisting questions to receive the ITT for the Managed service will then receive a detailed set of requirements.
