## Summary

Herefordshire Council is seeking information for a Management Information System (MIS) for schools through a Request for Information (RFI). The process is currently in the planning stage, with engagement set to conclude by 5th August 2020. The council aims to better understand available MIS solutions for Herefordshire's primary and secondary schools. This initiative is classified under the educational software package category and is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in educational technology. Companies capable of providing tailored MIS solutions are encouraged to engage in this process, which may lead to future contracts. Participation in this RFI will enable businesses to showcase their offerings and potentially influence the council's decision-making regarding future MIS implementations.
