This project falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on system and support services. The College is exploring a future ICT managed service solution and is seeking insights from potential providers on various delivery models available. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with an engagement milestone scheduled for 19 December 2025, where potential providers can offer feedback and solutions. The contract value is projected at £1,200,000, with the service expected to commence on 1 July 2026 and conclude by 30 June 2031 in the Northamptonshire region. This engagement represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in ICT managed services, particularly those experienced in hybrid and fully managed service models. Moulton College is open to exploring a range of offerings, providing a fertile ground for firms that can offer comprehensive system and support services. Given the contract's significant total value and duration of five years, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in IT infrastructure and security services can leverage this opportunity for business expansion, particularly if they possess a capability for innovative service delivery methods. Engaging early in the market engagement stage facilitates an advantage in shaping the potential scope and service offerings to align with the College's needs. ## Notice The College currently operates a hybrid ICT support model with the day-to-day end-user support service being delivered in-house. This service is supplemented by third-party specialist providers covering areas such as IT Infrastructure services and security services. The College has no definitive view on whether a future solution should remain hybrid or whether a single managed service provider approach would be better. Prior to developing the full scope for that procurement, the College seeks to engage with suitably qualified organisations to understand what the managed service landscape can offer in terms of meeting the College's needs. The College is keen to explore the full range of delivery models available. The College wishes to hear from any organisation that believes it has an offering that would be of interest.
