Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council is currently in the planning stage of procuring a cloud-based MIS system designed for tailored learning provision. The contract, classified under educational software packages (CPV code 48190000), is part of a broader initiative funded by the Department for Education to bring Somerset in line with other UK local authorities. The procurement process is currently seeking expressions of interest, which must be submitted by 15th November at 09:30 via the ProActis e-tendering portal. The market engagement exercise is solely for obtaining market information and does not imply any commitment to undertake further procurement. The system is to be delivered within the UKK23 region, primarily Taunton.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in the development and provision of educational software to expand their offerings and potentially secure government contracts. Companies specialising in cloud-based management information systems, especially those with experience in educational software, would be well-suited for this tender. Participation in the market engagement exercise allows businesses to influence potential future procurement specifications and establish relationships with a key regional authority. By engaging in this process, businesses can gain a strategic foothold and potentially unlock future opportunities with Somerset Council and similar government bodies.
