The contract, valued at £217,000, is focused on exploring technical solutions that either improve the existing system or facilitate migration to a new one. Key dates include the engagement end date, set for 12 December 2018. Interested suppliers can find early engagement notices posted on Contracts Finder and are advised to utilise the South West Portal for submissions and communications. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software packages and information systems, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative technical solutions. Companies that are capable of demonstrating a deep understanding of educational software technologies and related features will be particularly well-positioned to compete. By participation, businesses can contribute to the development of a business proposal that aligns with the Council's objectives while exploring potential growth avenues in a vital public sector domain. ## Notice Cornwall Council (CC) is seeking to gain a better understanding of the technical solutions that can support their Education and Early Years Directorate, leading to reassurance that the best possible solution is in place. The Council would like to discover what potential suppliers can deliver to either develop the Council's current solution or enable migration to an alternative solution. It is our view that a wider understanding of the market, considering new technologies and features may highlight alternative solutions that have the capacity to deliver extended benefits to CC. It is intended that the functional capabilities and indicative prices supplied will enable us to develop a business proposal. Any such proposal would be subject to the development and approval of a business case, and, as such, this exercise implies no commercial commitment. This is not a formal tender document.
