UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Furze Down School is seeking a single supplier for managed IT services. The requirement covers IT support, consulting, software development and internet-related support, including software development services. The work is categorised as an IT services contract and is intended to support the school’s ongoing technology needs. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Winslow, Buckinghamshire. Suppliers offering managed service provision, technical support, software development or related IT consultancy may find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can provide an integrated service through one organisation. The contract is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may also be able to compete, subject to meeting the stated capability and selection requirements.

The procurement reached tender: Furze Down School invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 21 September 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for submissions was 29 September 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with extensions permitted for two further 12-month periods, up to 31 December 2031. The intended award decision date is 1 January 2027. There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on quality at 80% and price at 20%. Bidders must complete and return a Selection Questionnaire as part of the request-to-participate process, with submissions made electronically in English.

This opportunity suits an established managed IT services provider able to deliver a broad, single-supplier service rather than an isolated technology product. Relevant strengths include IT support, software development, internet and systems support, consultancy, and the ability to manage service delivery for a school environment. Suppliers must provide evidence of business quality standards, relevant accreditations and comparable experience, alongside the completed Selection Questionnaire. The 80% quality weighting makes service capability, delivery approach and evidence of performance more important than offering the lowest price alone. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, including specialist providers with sufficient capacity to combine several IT disciplines and maintain consistent support over the initial contract and potential extensions. Organisations relying on accurate, substantiated credentials should be well placed to progress through selection.
