Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by St Chad's Academies Trust focuses on delivering a comprehensive ICT Managed Service across 20 sites for a period of five years. The primary goal is to modernise the trust's ICT infrastructure and migrate to cloud technologies. This open procurement, following a competitive flexible procedure, involves the public authority – sub-central government, located in Walsall, United Kingdom (UKG38). As of November 2025, the contract has moved to the award stage after completing the tender process in October 2025. The project, valued at £4.5 million gross, has been awarded to Computeam Ltd, with a scheduled contract period beginning in February 2026 and concluding in February 2031. The service category aligns with IT consulting, software development, Internet, and support services.

This ICT Managed Service tender presents a substantial opportunity for growth for IT service providers adept in innovation and cloud technology solutions. Businesses specialising in comprehensive ICT management, infrastructure design, and third-party coordination can find this an appealing avenue. The core services required include strategic ICT guidance, supply of goods and services based on best value, and fostering innovation within the academy's ICT landscape. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were explicitly considered in the evaluation criteria, enhancing their accessibility to engage in this significant undertaking. Additionally, the contract encourages collaborative efforts, positioning suppliers to undertake potentially influential roles within the educational technology sector. This procurement not only offers financial growth through service delivery but also positions vendors as integral partners in educational transformation and digital innovation.
