Published by the contracting authority
- Lot 1 · #1Individual lot title not publishedcancelledPublished valueNot publishedPrior to the award of these contracts, the current provider -ESS- had a contract with the local authority under which it provided a perpetual licence to the local authority for the purpose of providing SIMS to the schools in the local authority's area, with associated support services. ESS has now served notice to terminate that contract and requires that, in order to continue provision of SIMS, individual schools must enter into direct contracts with ESS to receive SIMS as software as a service. In order to bring about the transition, the local authority will enter into a Facilitation Agreement "FA" with ESS under which nothing of value is received by ESS and no material services are provided to the local authority; it is purely an administrative arrangement to effect the transition. Each school in the local authority's area will enter into a School Contract "SC" with ESS for the direct provision of SIMS as software as a service, at substantially the same cost as before. The highest value SC over the 3 year contract term is 28226GBP and the lowest value SC is 767GBP. The schools in the local authority's area whose governing bodies will enter into contracts with ESS are as follows: - Abertillery Learning Community - All Saints RC Primary School - Beaufort Hill Primary School - Blaen-y-Cwm Primary School - Bryn Bach Primary School - Brynmawr Foundation School - Coed-y-Garn Primary School - Cwm Primary School - Deighton Primary School - Ebbw Fawr Learning Community - Georgetown Primary School - Glanhowy Primary School - Glyncoed Primary School - Pen-y-Cwm Special School - Rhos-y-Fedwen Primary School - River Centre 3-16 Learning Community - Swffryd Primary School - St Illtyds Primary School - St Josephs RC Primary School - St Marys Church Primary School - St Marys RC Primary School - Tredegar Comprehensive School - Willowtown Primary School - Ysgol Gymraeg Brohelyg - Ystruth Primary School The local authority publishes this notice on behalf of itself and the schools listed above but is not acting as a central purchasing body on behalf of the schools. Additional information: Contract duration: 36 months The FA has no value Individual School Contracts have a value between 28226GBP and 767GBPContract periodNot publishedEligibilityNot publishedOptions / renewalNot published

Procedure rationaleThis contract award notice is published on a wholly voluntary basis and without prejudice to the local authority's and the governing body of each individual school's position that no prior publication of a contract notice, and thus no competitive tender exercise, was required in respect of the Facilitation Agreement (FA) and/or the individual Schools Contracts (SC). Neither the local authority nor the governing body of any of the schools listed above accepts that the FA and/or the individual SCs are within the scope of application of Part 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended). |
