## Description
Nexus Multi Academy Trust (Nexus) is seeking to establish a framework for the provision of ICT products, solutions, services and associated support, delivered through a Neutral Vendor Managed Service model.
Nexus are a CIPS Procurement Excellence Programme accredited Multi Academy Trust (supported through the DfE ESCC/TALI initiative) and a partner of the Positive Change Alliance (PCA), which comprises 10 multi academy trusts with in excess of 100 schools.
Nexus have identified the need to continue the provision of a compliant route to market to access a range of ICT Products, Solutions, Services and support to meet the diverse needs of Education and other Public Sector and associated organisations.
The Framework will be established directly by Nexus Multi Academy Trust and will be open for use by all public sector contracting authorities, including but not limited to:
• Multi-Academy Trusts and Schools
• Further and higher education institutions
• Local authorities and associated bodies
• Other bodies governed by public law
While the framework is primarily designed to meet the needs of the education sector, it will be structured to ensure it is accessible and suitable for use across the wider public sector.
Proposed scope of the Framework:
The Framework is expected to provide a compliant route to market for a broad range of ICT products, solutions and services, which may include (but are not limited to):
• End-user devices and peripherals
• Networking, infrastructure and connectivity solutions
• Cloud and on-premise software and licensing
• Cyber security and data protection solutions
• Managed ICT services and support
• Design, implementation, integration and lifecycle support
The Framework will operate using a Neutral Vendor Managed Service model, under which the appointed framework supplier will be responsible for:
• Impartially managing and integrating competing sub-contractors and manufacturers
• Ensuring customer choice, competition and best value at call-off
• Coordinating delivery, maintenance, support and interoperability across ICT categories
Further detail on scope will be provided within the UK4 Tender Notice and associated procurement documentation.
