Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation, represented by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London, has concluded the procurement process for the annual renewal of the SchoolBase licence and support contract. The contract, valued at £33,394.80, was awarded through a direct procurement method classified as below threshold, without competition. The procurement pertains to the services category, specifically targeting administration services, and covers the period from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2027. The contract was signed on 30th May 2026, with all relevant documentation published on 2nd June 2026. This process is now in the award and contract stage, indicating its completion.

This tender offers opportunities for large companies providing administrative software solutions to engage with sub-central governmental entities like The City of London Corporation. While the specific procurement was conducted without competition due to its below-threshold nature, it underscores the importance for such businesses to maintain awareness of recurring licensing and support service requirements in the public sector. Firms that specialise in comprehensive support systems, particularly those with expertise in educational administration platforms, stand to benefit significantly by establishing or enhancing relationships with governmental buyers, potentially positioning themselves for future opportunities that may arise.
