## Summary

The procurement process, led by Consortium Trust, sought IT Support Services under an open procedure, focusing on securing efficient IT operations across multiple academy settings in Suffolk and Norfolk. The contract, now in the award stage, was aimed at a total value of up to £300,000, with Turn IT On Limited announced as the successful supplier on 14 May 2026. This procurement, categorized in IT services, was active throughout the UK's specified regions under a light-touch regime, culminating in services commencing on 1 September 2026. The process transitioned through critical stages beginning with tender updates in January 2026, through proposal evaluations culminating in award notifications, with key operational dates including a contract start date of September 2026 and an optional extension period allowed until August 2030.

This tender provides opportunities for IT service providers, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to offer comprehensive IT support services such as helpdesk, cybersecurity, and infrastructure support, ensuring the integration and delivery aligns with governmental and educational standards. SMEs with relevant certifications, a track record of similar collaborations, and the ability to provide onsite services in Suffolk or Norfolk are well-positioned to benefit. Opportunities for business growth are abundant given the scope for extensions and additional procurement of related IT services, creating a robust platform for expanding into the educational IT support market.
