The procurement process followed an open procedure, with a total contract value of £120,000, and a minimum contract value of £60,000. The tender period closed on 4th July 2019. This contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialised in developing online educational solutions, particularly those offering secure hosted services with 24/7 access.

Suppliers that cater to educational institutions or have experience in the public sector, especially SMEs and voluntary community organisations, are encouraged to explore this opportunity. ## Notice incolnshire County Council ("The Council") requires the supply of a high quality, fully hosted online Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solution to deliver the Educational Visits Service.The Service shall enable up to 400 schools in Lincolnshire annually to plan, co-ordinate, approve and manage educational visits, sports fixtures and a range of extra-curricular activities. As the employer for community, voluntary controlled and maintained schools, the Council has a statutory duty to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, the health and safety of children and young people in school and whilst undertaking Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) and off-site educational visits/activities led by the schools. The Educational Visits Service shall therefore undertake the statutory responsibilities on behalf of the Customer which includes two directly interrelated and complementary elements: (i) A Secure online, fully hosted system for the planning, co-ordination and management of educational visits by schools (accessible 24hours / 7day per week / 52 weeks per year) (ii) Provision of wraparound support, advice guidance and recommendations service for Service Users to be accessible 5 days per week/ 52 week per year that shall include as a minimum; * providing advice, guidance and approval for higher risk activities in relation to educational visits, off-site activities and Learning Outside the Contract (LOtC), planned by Lincolnshire schools for which the Customer is the employer. * providing advice, guidance and recommendations to other Lincolnshire schools, academies and educational settings, where the Customer is not the employer, who choose to use the Service. The Contract opportunity will replace the existing service in Lincolnshire from the start of the 2019-20 Academic Year in Lincolnshire. For the avoidance of doubt this means the Service shall therefore commence 1st September 2019. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/abec25b1-dc70-4134-a617-8644ee17bfe1 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 4 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Aug 2019 | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2019 - 31 Aug 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £99,996 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LINCOLNSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LINCOLN | | Post town | Lincoln | | Postcode | LN1 1YL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF3 Lincolnshire | | ITL 3 | TLF30 Lincolnshire CC | | Local authority | Lincoln | | Electoral ward | Carholme | | Westminster constituency | Lincoln | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SOLAR - NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80100000 - Primary education services - 80200000 - Secondary education services - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 23 Aug 2019 at 14:24 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/abec25b1-dc70-4134-a617-8644ee17bfe1 - 17 Jun 2019 at 10:06 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c684be0-0288-45e5-9a4f-c8e234b995f2 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/abec25b1-dc70-4134-a617-8644ee17bfe1 23rd August 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c684be0-0288-45e5-9a4f-c8e234b995f2 17th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
