The estate comprises 23 primary schools and 8 Secondary schools, the largest of which serves approximately 2,500 pupils. Buildings are mixed in age, construction and condition. The aim is to achieve a coherent service operating through one principal interface and authoritative asset hierarchy. Current thinking is that this may be through a single platform or demonstrably integrated solution covering the following requirements: * Compliance: records, recurring schedules, evidence, audit history, alerts and remediation across fire, water hygiene and legionella, asbestos, electrical condition, gas, radon, emergency lighting, lifts and playground equipment. * Assets and maintenance: hierarchical asset register, condition and lifecycle data, planned maintenance, reactive requests, work orders, mobile working and contractor workflows. * Financial and capital planning: budget and purchase-order attribution, expenditure reporting and forecasting, DfE condition-data import, replacement forecasting and structured export. * Reporting: Trust-, school- and asset-level dashboards, drill-down, configurable reports and governance-ready outputs. The solution should support demonstrable compliance assurance; complete evidence and audit retention; end-to-end maintenance and contractor workflows; expenditure traceability; maintenance and replacement forecasting; self-service reporting; mobile working; scalability; and secure data portability. WeST is considering at least 99.5% monthly availability, prioritised support targets, service credits for material failure and acceptance-based implementation payments.
