UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Veritas Multi Academy Trust procured a fully outsourced managed ICT service, including delivery of project work. The requirement covers day-to-day IT support, consultancy, software development, internet and networking support, computer equipment and supplies, educational software, networking and intranet software, and education and training services. Work is delivered across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, the South East and the South West. Veritas Multi Academy Trust is the buying organisation, with Moxton Education Ltd managing the procurement. The requirement is classified mainly as IT services and includes support for an education-focused organisation operating across multiple English regions.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Concero UK Limited was selected on 6 August 2026. The award is worth £900,000 excluding VAT and £1,080,000 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 9 August 2031; the tender lot specified 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2031. The estimated tender value was £750,000 excluding VAT and £900,000 including VAT. This was a single-lot, above-threshold open competition using a competitive flexible procedure: PSQ evaluation and shortlisting, ITT submissions and moderation, presentations and moderation, then decision making. Five bids reached the final stage, including four from SMEs. Quality counted for 70% and price for 30%. Expressions of interest closed on 4 June 2026 and enquiries on 27 May 2026.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, multi-region demand from an academy trust for an integrated education-sector ICT partner rather than a narrowly defined hardware or software supplier. A credible competitor would need to combine outsourced service-desk and infrastructure support with internet, networking, intranet, software and project-delivery capability. Experience supporting schools or other distributed education organisations would be relevant, particularly where services must be standardised across many sites while responding to local operational needs. Suppliers should be able to provide reliable technical consultancy, software development, equipment and educational technology support, alongside user training. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, so strong service design, implementation planning, presentation skills, measurable support arrangements and evidence of successful managed ICT delivery would be important. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs.
