## Summary

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council procured a management information system for managing governors and trust boards across maintained schools, academies and multi-academy trusts. The system supports the council’s Governor Services function, including facilities and training administration. The requirement covers schools in Solihull and is classified as software packages and information systems. The council is the public-sector buyer, with delivery centred on Solihull. The service is relevant to suppliers providing governance, school administration or education-sector management information software, particularly platforms that can support different school types and trust structures within one council-wide service. The requirement is for a software system rather than construction, physical goods or general training alone; training and administration are functional elements of the wider system.

The procurement is complete and an award was made through a limited procedure without prior publication or competition. The stated justification was that changing supplier would cause incompatibility with existing goods or services or disproportionate technical difficulties. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are active. The Key Support Services Limited was awarded the requirement on 1 August 2024. The contract value is £34,000. The award basis for the lot was price, and one bid was recorded. The contract is titled SOL Governor Service System 2024. The procurement is below threshold and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award outcome therefore indicates a direct continuity-led purchase rather than an open competitive tender.

This requirement shows demand for established school-governance software that can operate across maintained schools, academies and multi-academy trusts, while supporting a council’s central Governor Services team. A credible future competitor would need a dependable management information platform, practical tools for governor and trust-board administration, and built-in support for facilities and training administration. The stated award rationale makes compatibility and technical continuity commercially important: suppliers would need to demonstrate that their system can integrate with, replace or interoperate with existing arrangements without creating disproportionate technical difficulty. Relevant experience in local-government education services, multi-school deployments and stakeholder support would strengthen a proposition. The incumbent’s position also shows that buyers may value operational continuity and a proven platform alongside price.
