Summary of the contracting process

Outwood Grange Academies Trust bought lockable mobile phone pouches for use across its schools, including associated training, implementation and roll-out support. This is a goods requirement covering communication and related equipment. Delivery was required across the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the East Midlands. The buyer is Outwood Grange Academies Trust, based in Wakefield. Suppliers relevant to this requirement include manufacturers and distributors of secure mobile phone storage products, together with providers able to support school-wide implementation, user training and operational roll-out. The requirement concerns both the physical pouches and the practical support needed to introduce them consistently across multiple schools within the Trust.

The procurement is complete and awarded following an accelerated open procedure. Six bids were received, with one reaching the final stage, including one SME final-stage bid. The tender’s estimated value was £250,000 excluding VAT, or £300,000 including VAT. The contract was awarded to OVER YONDR UK LTD on 13 May 2026 for £300,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 May 2029, with a possible extension to 31 May 2031 where performance is satisfactory. The award was evaluated on cost, weighted at 80%, and quality, weighted at 20%; the quality assessment included a 10% social value weighting. Electronic submissions in English were permitted.

This award demonstrates established demand from a large academy trust for lockable mobile phone pouches supported by structured training, implementation and school-wide roll-out. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable products suitable for repeated use in education settings, backed by the capacity to supply multiple schools across several English regions. It would also need a practical implementation model, including training and coordinated deployment support rather than product supply alone. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing was the dominant consideration, while quality and social value also influenced the decision. The participation of an SME at the final stage indicates that smaller specialist suppliers can compete when they can demonstrate sufficient supply, service and delivery capability.
