What is being bought

Published requirement description

Delta Academies Trust is made up of 53 academies, including 34 primaries, 16 secondaries, 1 all-through and 2 alternative provision academies. Predominantly based around Yorkshire and the Humber, we meet regularly, share resources and ideas and employ a large team of specialist primary and secondary experts who work and teach across our schools. This approach has given staff great resources and allowed pupils and students to flourish and achieve.

The Head Office is based in Knottingley.

In terms of communications the Trust have their own WAN which connects the schools to the data centre and then out to the internet. This has been successful for a number of years and schools have been added as they join the Trust. Given the scale of the WAN / associated services and the fact that the majority of the current connectivity is out of contract in January 2024 there is a need to re-tender the provision and identify a Trustwide Communications Partner.
