The initial roll-out will include 22 schools and 3 colleges in Leicester, with plans for potential expansion into Leicestershire County schools or colleges over time. This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for providers of educational software and application platforms, particularly those able to demonstrate flexibility in accommodating varying numbers of clients. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) should find this opportunity particularly appealing, as the tender is structured to support their involvement.

It will allow students' applications to be supported and monitored by schools, or where appropriate, other host establishments, or the Local Authority (LA). It will allow applications to be received by providers, to manage their application process, and to make offers. The LA will be able to download a range of reports on the details, progress and outcomes of student applications in order to oversee the September Guarantee process. Initially there will be 22 schools and 3 colleges to start with, but this could grow during the contract term and the growth could include Leicestershire County schools or colleges. The successful bidder's solution must accommodate an increase or decrease in number of schools or colleges. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/def0852d-1c74-43e8-bd9d-6cddf785ec7b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | 10 May 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2019 - 31 Aug 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE1 6TH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF21 Leicester | | Local authority | Leicester | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Leicester South | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 10 Apr 2019 at 17:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/def0852d-1c74-43e8-bd9d-6cddf785ec7b - 10 Apr 2019 at 15:53 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/10d01ce5-e0c2-4c12-bfb0-c4472bba2a7e - 10 Apr 2019 at 15:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef18e08c-e853-457e-ab29-830f9109fc7b - 10 Apr 2019 at 15:27 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/15dc2e87-37f3-4aae-84ae-d8a57cfac8f1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/def0852d-1c74-43e8-bd9d-6cddf785ec7b 10th April 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/10d01ce5-e0c2-4c12-bfb0-c4472bba2a7e 10th April 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ef18e08c-e853-457e-ab29-830f9109fc7b 10th April 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/15dc2e87-37f3-4aae-84ae-d8a57cfac8f1 10th April 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=90c3669e-a35b-e911-80f3-005056b64545 To apply for this opportunity please click on the link below ## Notice URLs - http://www.leicester.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
