The Orwell Multi Academy Trust (OMAT) has concluded the award stage for the procurement of IT and Network Services, which took place under a restricted procedure. This procurement is classified under the industry category of Computer Network Services (CPV 72700000). The contract, valued at £1,070,000, has been awarded to Sweethaven Computers Ltd. The procurement included provisions for services across the Trust's seven primary schools located in Suffolk, specifically within the UKH14 region.

SMEs are strongly encouraged to participate, given the contract's structure supporting scalable service provision as the number of schools in the Trust grows. Businesses capable of delivering robust, scalable IT solutions will find significant growth potential here, as the contract allows for the integration of additional schools under the same terms. This opens avenues for sustained collaboration and expansion within OMAT’s progressive educational environment.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

In our seven unique primary schools, we strive to ensure that learning is unstoppable, and aspirations have no limit, enabling all children to flourish, no matter what their starting point. A rich and unique curriculum in each school promotes creativity, curiosity and a love for learning that will equip our pupils for success throughout each phase of their education. Our values of community, integrity and opportunity form the foundations for our sustainable approach to school improvement and quality assurance to ensure we support all our schools to continue to achieve excellent outcomes for pupils. We also recognise how collaboration has enabled us to continually improve and so are always looking for new partners to join us on our journey. Orwell Academy Trust is expected to grow, with a number of additional schools becoming part of the Trust during this contract period and the provision of IT & Networks services at these schools when they have joined the Trust will fall under the scope of this contract. The successful Supplier will be expected to provide this service at these additional schools using the same costing model applied to the successful tender submission. The duration of contract for these schools will not be increased and they will join the contract for the remaining contract period that exists at the point of entry into the Trust. Please see SQ document for more information. Additional information: Please note, this is a contract award notice, this contract has already been awarded.
