Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education commissioned technical and digital services to support its Schools Digital portfolio. The requirement is for a partner able to provide technical and digital capability; it sits within the wider area of IT consultancy, software development, internet and support services. The work supports the department’s digital activity in schools. The buyer is the Department for Education, based in London, and the delivery location is identified as the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been awarded to Tecknuovo Limited, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 20 April 2023 and runs from that date to 26 February 2027. Its value is £11,651,320. The procurement was arranged as a single lot. A contract modification was made to maintain continuity of critical services while the Schools Digital portfolios are reviewed and reprocurements undertaken; the modification does not extend the contract’s scope. The modification is described as being within the limit of 50% of the original agreement. The award is recorded as active.

This award shows demand from the Department for Education for a delivery partner combining technical and digital capability to support its Schools Digital portfolio. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the capacity to provide sustained IT services and support across a public-sector digital portfolio, as well as the relevant technical expertise to maintain continuity while services and portfolios are managed. The selected supplier was a large company, indicating the scale of organisation that won this contract, although the award does not state that large-company status was a condition. The requirement is specifically for Schools Digital support, so relevant experience in delivering technical and digital services for education-related systems would make a supplier more credible.
