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.
