Published requirement description

Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) and The Elliot Foundation Trust (TEFAT) seek to establish a framework agreement enabling schools, multi-academy trusts and all UK public sector bodies to procure a variety of ICT goods and services, where those goods and services are split into a series of lots, allowing suppliers to respond to single lots, multiple lots, or all lots. The lots range from hardware and software purchases, to procuring a full managed service with a chosen Strategic ICT Partner. There is no limit to the number of suppliers on each lot and no limit to the number of lots you can respond to. We welcome responses from registered companies (including SMEs), consortia, Special Purpose Vehicles and Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSEs).

The Sponsors (AET and TEFAT) will be procuring a Strategic Partner utilising the framework, which will run in parallel to the framework procurement. These further competitions will be lots 16 and 17 of the framework ITT.

The framework lots are Strategic Partnering Services, Hardware Provision, Audio Visual, Networking, Wide Area Networking, Servers and Storage, Hardware as a Service, Software, Cloud Services, MIS, Printing,

Telephony, Built Environment, Support Services, Consultancy Services, AET Further Competition, and TEFAT Further Competition.

enFrame are focussed on ensuring that every procurement is driven by Social Value and fighting climate change, an ethos that is shared with AET and TEFAT. A such, the framework asks what Social Value supplies can offer through delivery of the service that would benefit the trusts, and what they can offer and do to reduce the trusts’ carbon footprint.

What it takes to win
i

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored · same split on all 17 lots
Quality: 50%Price: 50%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 50
  • Price: 50
Lot distribution rule: Single lot, any number of lots, or all lots.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework agreement to supply ICT goods and services to the education…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 100 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
