The procurement concerns software packages and information systems, with the council seeking to understand the solutions available, their technical options and the benefits of installing them. The work is intended for delivery in Wolverhampton, within the council’s area. The council is carrying out this exercise as a preliminary market test rather than purchasing a defined system at this stage. Suppliers with relevant education management information systems, software platforms or associated information-system products will find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can explain how their solutions could meet a public-sector education environment’s requirements. This procurement is at the planning stage. Wolverhampton City Council is conducting preliminary market engagement to gather information about market capability, capacity, available options, indicative costs, technical approaches and potential benefits before deciding how to proceed. Suppliers are invited to contribute through a market-engagement questionnaire, with the council’s stated expected closing time of noon on 30 September 2026. The engagement is for information gathering and is not an invitation to tender. The planned procurement is divided into one lot. The published planning information indicates an anticipated contract period from 1 April 2030 to 31 March 2035. No procurement procedure, award method or contract value has been settled in the information published so far. This market engagement will suit suppliers that provide education management information systems, software packages or wider information-system solutions and want to help shape the council’s understanding of the market before a future procurement. The council is specifically looking for insight into the range of solutions available, technical options, indicative costs, benefits, market capability and market capacity. Suppliers with established EMIS products, adaptable technical architectures, implementation knowledge or demonstrable innovations in this field should be well placed to provide useful input. The exercise may also suit businesses that can explain different solution models clearly and identify practical benefits for the council. It is a preparation and intelligence-gathering exercise, not an opportunity to bid for a contract now. ## Notice Wolverhampton City Council are conducting a Preliminary Market Test for Education Management Information System.
