Summary of the contracting process

The Raleigh Education Trust is seeking proposals for an ICT Managed Services contract, focusing on providing comprehensive support and management across its nine school sites by September 2026. Based in Nottingham, the Trust is a public authority in the central government category, and the procurement process is currently at the tender stage. The opportunity is managed by Minerva Procurement Consultancy Services Limited. The procurement encompasses services in computer-related areas under the CPV codes including computer-related services, professional services, and consultancy. Notably, the process is selective, with a competitive flexible procedure in place. Key dates include an expression of interest deadline on 3rd July 2026 and an enquiry period closing on 22nd June 2026, with an expected contract award on 23rd November 2026. The contract, valued at £475,000 excluding VAT, is set to begin on 2nd January 2027 for an initial three-year term, with potential extensions. This is a non-lotted single contract due to the geographical proximity of the sites.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in ICT managed services, particularly those experienced in supporting educational environments. Companies capable of handling a full cycle of ICT infrastructure support and eager to provide high-standard service to educational institutions will find this contract particularly appealing. The selective procurement method ensures that only suppliers with pertinent expertise and proven capability will advance. Businesses that excel in delivering quality and competitive pricing are encouraged to participate, as these will be key evaluation criteria. The contract's extended scope across multiple sites within the Trust opens opportunities for companies to expand their portfolio within the education sector, enhancing their visibility and demonstrating their competence in managing extensive ICT infrastructures.
