## Summary

South East Surrey Schools Education Trust bought ICT support for Carrington School. The service covers a help desk, on-site support, fully managed IT services, escalation support and strategic support. This combines day-to-day assistance for school users with managed service delivery and higher-level technical and strategic input. The buyer is an education trust, and the requirement is for services rather than equipment, construction or a one-off supply of goods. Delivery locations are listed across England’s regions: the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The core requirement remains support for Carrington School.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to WCL (UK) Limited on 13 October 2026. The award is £555,780 excluding VAT (£666,936 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years, to a maximum expiry date of 31 October 2031. The award was made through a selective procurement under a framework agreement; this was a non-competitive framework award. There was one lot, covering the IT support service for Carrington School. The extension is at the trust’s discretion and is conditional on satisfactory supplier performance and continuing operational requirements.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows demand from an education trust for an integrated school IT support service, combining user-facing help desk and on-site assistance with fully managed services, escalation and strategic support. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity to cover routine support while also managing more complex issues and providing strategic input, rather than offering only a narrow help-desk or equipment-supply service. The scope suggests value in coordinating these service layers for a school environment and maintaining satisfactory performance while operational needs continue. The successful supplier is a large company, indicating that a substantial provider was selected for this requirement; the award itself does not establish that smaller suppliers could not compete. A future comparable supplier would need to evidence reliable, joined-up service delivery.
