In plain English
Lumero Educational Trust, which runs 12 schools (4 secondary and 8 primary), wants a single cloud-based budget and financial management system for all 13 of its entities. The contract runs from 1 September 2027 for three years, with an option to extend for up to two more years, and the system must be supported by a help desk and remote access.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a completely cloud-based finance and budgeting software system covering all 13 entities under one contract, compatible with Microsoft and Google and DfE Chart of Accounts compliant. • Include comprehensive financial transaction, search, transaction and journal capability, with seamless links between the finance and budgeting modules. • Provide a user-accessible help desk, portal and remote access within agreed hours, and work in partnership to deliver ongoing support.
Requirements
Named in the buyer's notice:
- Public Liability Insurance
What could rule a small business out: The first stage is a questionnaire where only 5 to 10 candidates progress, each must score at least 60%, and the highest scorers are chosen, with the questionnaire criteria not set out in the notice, so a small supplier without a proven, fully cloud-based, DfE-compliant finance system that can support 13 entities is most likely to be ruled out.
Always check the tender documents.
