## Summary

Leyton Sixth Form College is procuring a five-year ICT managed service for its college in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, supporting around 2,280 students. The service covers all ICT responsibilities under a service-level agreement, including a service desk available 51 weeks a year with out-of-hours access, local staffing, strategic ICT advice, infrastructure design and management, technology goods and services, third-party management, monitoring, patching and performance reporting. The provider will also maintain technical and operational documentation, including inventories and risk registers, and support innovation and change projects. The requirement is for IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. TUPE applies, and a separate cyber-risk procurement is planned.

The procurement has reached tender: the college invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure involving a PSQ, shortlisting, an ITT stage, moderation, presentations and final moderation. Enquiries close at 12:00 on 28 August 2026, and tender submissions close at 12:00 on 11 September 2026. Submissions must be made in English and electronically submitted bids are not allowed; the PSQ document contains the submission instructions. The contract is expected to run from 15 February 2027 to 14 February 2032. Its estimated value is £7,000,000 excluding VAT, or £8,400,000 including VAT. Quality carries 70% of the evaluation and price 30%. The opportunity is above threshold and has one lot.

This opportunity suits ICT managed-service providers able to take end-to-end responsibility for a further-education college’s technology environment and service-level performance. Strong candidates will be able to provide a year-round service desk, suitable local personnel, strategic leadership and infrastructure design, installation and management. The work requires capability in monitoring, patching, documentation, inventory and risk-register management, supplier coordination, performance reporting and delivery against shared organisational targets. Providers should also be able to supply technology and related services using best-value principles, lead innovation and deliver additional technology or change-management projects. Experience managing complex ICT estates, working with third parties and handling TUPE-related service transitions would be relevant to the requirement.
