Summary of the contracting process

Oxford Diocesan Bucks School Trust is procuring managed IT services across its various sites in the United Kingdom. The requirement incorporates broadband and Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) services, covering their provision, management and support. The broadband and VOIP services are to be replaced or upgraded and may be delivered directly by the appointed supplier or through a subcontracted or outsourced third party. The managed IT services supplier will be expected to manage that broadband and VOIP provider and the services delivered. This is a services procurement covering IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. The Trust is a public undertaking and is seeking a supplier or suppliers for the requirement.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with a pre-selection questionnaire, invitation to tender, clarification meeting, standstill and award stages. Enquiries were due by 4 August 2026 at 17:00, and tender submissions by 14 August 2026 at 17:00. The single lot has an estimated value of £600,000 excluding VAT, or £720,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with extensions of two further 12-month periods permitted, giving a maximum end date of 31 March 2032. Evaluation is weighted 80% quality and 20% price. The award period ends on 1 April 2027 at 23:59.

This opportunity suits managed service providers able to deliver and support IT services across multiple sites, including broadband connectivity and VOIP. Suppliers should be capable of taking responsibility for replacing or upgrading telecommunications services, whether delivered in-house or through a specialist subcontractor, and of managing that subcontractor and its performance. The Trust is looking for evidence of relevant experience, business quality standards and professional accreditations as part of the selection process. Providers must be able to demonstrate both economic and technical suitability through the selection questionnaire and subsequent tender. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it may also suit capable regional specialists, consortiums or specialist telecommunications firms partnering with an IT service provider.
