### Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of License and Support Agreement for this IT application. In March 2020 the coronavirus pandemic resulted in the full closure of all UK schools. Our secondary schools, already equipped with iPads and the Show My Homework App placed our secondary young people, parents/carers and teachers at a unique advantage to hit the ground running with Home Learning. The Education digital steering group consulted on a core app for parental engagement in schools and completed an evaluation and test with three products. This resulted in the contract being awarded to Showbie.. The Council has awarded this contract directly.
