Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Truro & Penwith Academy Trust procured a managed information system for its 41 schools. The requirement was for MIS software licences, together with implementation, training and mobilisation services. This is a managed software supply and support requirement, classified under CPV 72268000. Delivery is in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, serving schools within the Trust. The buyer is Truro & Penwith Academy Trust, based in Threemilestone, Truro. The procurement was arranged through the 2BUY2 EDUCATION BUYING Management Information Systems, Financial Management Systems and Budgeting Systems dynamic purchasing system, so the requirement is relevant to suppliers providing education management information software and the associated deployment and user-training services.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Bromcom Computers PLC following a further competition under the 2BUY2 EDUCATION BUYING dynamic purchasing system. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 for £418,872.66. The planned initial term was five years, with one optional 12-month extension, allowing a maximum six-year term. The procedure was a limited award without a separately published call for competition, using the established dynamic purchasing system route. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. One bid was recorded. The single lot is marked cancelled, although an active award and active contract are also recorded for that lot, creating a conflicting status in the published outcome.

This award indicates demand from a multi-school academy trust for a complete managed information system rather than software licences alone. A credible competitor would need an education-focused MIS product suitable for use across 41 schools, with the organisational capacity to manage implementation and mobilisation across multiple sites. It would also need to provide structured training for school staff and sustained service delivery throughout a multi-year arrangement. The evaluation places greater emphasis on quality than price, so evidence of dependable implementation, usable functionality, service management and effective training would be important when competing for a comparable requirement. Experience of supplying academy trusts or other school groups, and readiness to participate through a relevant education technology purchasing system, would strengthen a future response.
