## Summary

The Oxford Diocesan Bucks Schools Trust is currently engaged in a procurement process titled "ODBST - Communications & Security Partner." This tender, classified under IT services (CPV code 72000000), is focused on securing a contract for communications and online safety services for educational institutions within the Trust, which is located in Stoke Mandeville, United Kingdom. The project is at the active tender stage, with the service anticipated to start by 1st April 2022 and extend to 31st March 2027. An accelerated procurement method has been adopted due to the urgency created by the transition to cloud-based systems by March 2022, necessitating prompt supplier selection and onboarding.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those with capabilities in managed communications, network security, and telephony for educational institutions. Companies focused on providing comprehensive support, such as WAN connectivity, broadband solutions, and robust compliance with safeguarding requirements, would be well-placed to compete. With a budget of £500,000, the successful supplier will also likely engage in further projects that will enhance technological infrastructure across the Trust, potentially leading to additional growth opportunities for bidders.
