North Tyneside Borough Council has awarded a contract for the renewal of a Schools Management Information System (MIS), titled "Schools MIS System Renewal". This procurement process falls under the software supply services category and is located across multiple schools in North Tyneside, within the UKC22 region. The contract has been awarded, as of 1st April 2026, to Arbor Education Partners Ltd through a direct award procedure under the YPO Framework 1095 to ensure service continuity and avoid disruption during the academic year. The procurement method was limited, following the regulations set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract spans four years and is valued at £717,772.65, with optional package upgrades available to participating schools.
