What is being bought

The trust's broadband estate is currently split across three providers with contracts expiring at different points between August 2026 and June 2029. Rather than managing each renewal independently, the trust's strategy is to consolidate all 26 schools onto a single infrastructure-agnostic provider via the Government Commercial Agency Framework, working through 6 phases aligned to each group's contract expiry dates, with the objective of reaching a single co-terminus renewal point in September 2032. This procurement represents phase 1 and includes the following schools: • Northwood Primary • Hurworth Primary • Corporation Road Primary & Trust Office • Handale Primary • Heathfield Primary • Hemlington Hall Primary • Preston Primary • Mount Pleasant Primary • Cambrai Primary • Lingdale Primary • Golden Flatts Primary • Harewood Primary

Rather than managing each renewal independently, the trust's strategy is to consolidate all 26 schools onto a single infrastructure-agnostic provider via the Government Commercial Agency Framework, working through 6 phases aligned to each group's contract expiry dates, with the objective of reaching a single co-terminus renewal point in September 2032. This procurement represents phase 1 and includes the following schools:\n•\tNorthwood Primary\n•\tHurworth Primary\n•\tCorporation Road Primary & Trust Office\n•\tHandale Primary\n•\tHeathfield Primary\n•\tHemlington Hall Primary\n•\tPreston Primary\n•\tMount Pleasant Primary \n•\tCambrai Primary\n•\tLingdale Primary\n•\tGolden Flatts Primary\n•\tHarewood Primary",
