This open procurement process, classified under e-learning services, is currently in the tender phase, with bids due by 9th July 2018. The selected system will be required to comply with Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) rules, ensuring effective management and reporting capabilities for funding claims starting from April 2019. The contract is expected to run for three years, with the potential for two one-year extensions based on performance assessments. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational technology and software development, particularly those capable of creating systems that meet ESFA requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate, given their capacity to deliver tailored solutions. Success in this contract could pave the way for further engagements with local authorities seeking innovative educational solutions. ## Notice Medway Council invites applicants to tender for the provision of replacement of a Management Information System (MIS) for Medway Adult Education (MAE). Medway Adult Education have used the AQUA MIS, based on Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) funding rules and regulations, for the past 20 years. As the incumbent provider is no longer able to supply the software, the current contract will terminate on 31st March 2019, and the Council is therefore looking to procure a replacement system in order to manage our provision and to produce funding claims from 1st April 2019. The replacement software is expected to be written to conform with all ESFA funding requirements, to produce funding claims, and to record data regarding learners, courses and staff. The proposed contract period for this service will be 3 years with a provision to extend for a further two years on a 1 + 1 basis (3 years +1 +1 = 5 years), unless otherwise terminated in line with the conditions of contract. Any extension will be taken with mutual agreement and only after satisfactory performance against Key Performance Indicators.
