## Summary

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is buying an online traded-services management system for schools. The system will enable the council to administer, track and invoice services provided to maintained schools and academies. This is a software and information-systems service, including related IT services such as software development, support, internet services and consulting. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a council-facing platform that supports the administration of services and associated billing across schools and academies. Suppliers specialising in education-sector software, traded-services platforms, service management systems, invoicing solutions or related implementation and support services may find the scope relevant. The council is the buyer and contracting authority for the requirement.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It has one lot. Enquiries and tender submissions were due by 29 August 2026 at 6:00 pm. The estimated value is £41,666.66 excluding the gross amount of £50,000, in GBP. The contract period was set from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2028, with a one-year initial term and a one-year extension option. Electronic submission was allowed. Evaluation is split equally between price and quality: price per year carries 50%, while quality carries 50% across four desirable criteria. Participation requires compliance with UK GDPR. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to provide and support a secure online platform for managing services sold to schools. Relevant capability includes configuring workflows for service administration, maintaining records of services and schools, tracking activity, and producing or supporting invoices. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate practical understanding of software delivery, internet-based systems, technical support and, where required, consulting or development work. Compliance with UK GDPR is a participation requirement, so bidders need appropriate data-protection controls, policies and operating processes for handling information connected with schools and academies. The equal weighting of price and quality gives capable smaller suppliers and voluntary, community or social enterprises a route to compete, provided they can deliver the required platform and ongoing support.
