## Description
The Alliance Multi-Academy Trust (TAMAT) encompasses 5 schools and circa 1400 pupils in Surrey.
The Trust Head Office is currently at Windlesham Village Infant School.
The Alliance Multi-Academy Trust or TAMAT was born, bringing together five of those initial schools and over 1400 children.  We are proud that we have already achieved something that is unique - for the first time in Surrey, schools of both a secular and church nature have collaborated and found a way of coming together formally in a Multi-Academy Trust, for mutual benefit. There was an element risk because we had always relied on the local authority and/or diocese and did not want to lose our uniqueness.
The school leadership teams and governors committed to a new level and type of collaboration that benefits the children of all our schools enormously. We are enjoying the autonomy but also the added strength in resourcing that working together brings.  But we have not come together to create TAMAT academy school "clones" - far from it.  We fundamentally recognise the individuality of each school, their teachers, their cultures and environments, but most importantly their children and TAMAT will always respect that.  And so, our doors are open to other like-minded partners and we invite you to find out more.
This procurement encompasses the items noted below.  In essence, this procurement is all about identifying a single supplier to provide a fully managed communications, security and telephony service.  
At the sole discretion of the Trust any future schools that the Trust may incorporate into the Trust will also be added to the ICT contract.  Any additional schools will co-terminate to the end same end date of the initial contract.
In terms of the service this is advertised as a 60 month contract with start and end dates as follows: 
Service start date - 1st June 2024 
Service end date - 31st May 2029
The companies identified from these shortlisting questions to receive the ITT for the Managed communications, security and telephony partner will then receive a further detailed set of requirements. For the purposes of this shortlisting stage bidders should assume that the ITT will include, but is not be limited to;

•	Relevant monitoring, management, and reporting
•	Full installation and transition service
