Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Girls' Learning Trust MIS Tender" was initiated by the Girls' Learning Trust, a sub-central government public authority located in Sutton, UK. The procurement process was managed on behalf of the trust by Cohesion Consulting Ltd. Unfortunately, this procurement process has reached the tender cancellation stage as of 28 July 2025. The process was cancelled due to unforeseen absence at a senior level within the trust and a strategic review of the trust's IT infrastructure. This indicates a significant assessment is in progress regarding the trust's future IT needs and capabilities.

Though this particular tender has been cancelled, similar opportunities could present growth potential for businesses specialising in management information systems and educational technology solutions. Companies with experience in providing IT infrastructure solutions to public authority entities, especially those with the capability to offer bespoke MIS systems, would potentially be well-suited for future tenders from the Girls' Learning Trust or similar educational institutions. Businesses should keep an eye on further announcements as the trust refines its strategic direction and possibly reissues their tender.

Notice Title

Girls' Learning Trust MIS Tender

Notice Description

Established in September 2015, GLT is the UK's largest all-girls, all-state-funded multi-academy trust. It currently comprises three successful and high-performing secondary schools in the London Borough of Sutton. With a combined student population of over 4,500 girls aged 11-18 and a workforce of nearly 500 staff, it operates across three large sites. The Trust has a financial turnover of approximately PS30 million and is committed to delivering and maintaining outstanding educational environments through high-quality partnerships. This tender opportunity is closely linked to the Trust's strategy, in particular the following enablers: 1. Championing evidence-led and insight-informed decision-making 2. Providing a modern, secure and stable IT infrastructure 3. A coherent system for education assurance and development Further, the tender rationale reflects the Trust's ongoing commitment to excellence, innovation, and long-term value for its schools and wider community. The Trust is now tendering for the provision of Management Information System Services, with a contract start date of 1st November 2025. The contract value is expected to be circa PS35,000 + VAT per annum and for the initial three year term the expected value is circa PS105,000 + VAT. The Trust will be using a two stage competitive flexible process. The contract will run for an initial three-year term, with termly and annual reviews in place. To ensure flexibility for both parties, should the relationship not prosper, a break clause has been included. There is also an option to extend the contract for a further two years (1+1), by mutual agreement, subject to satisfactory qualitative and financial performance.
