In plain English
Maiden Erlegh Trust, a group of 10 schools around Reading, wants a partner to supply and run a laptop programme over five years. The contract is worth about £6 million and covers roughly 9,000 Chromebook laptops, plus training and ongoing support. Secondary pupils will pay for their own devices through parental contributions, so this contract covers devices bought by the Trust for staff, primary and SEN schools.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and deliver around 9,000 Chromebooks over the five-year contract, with an initial 400 devices due by 1 April 2027 (ideally between 15 and 19 February). • Run the mobile device programme in partnership with the Trust's appointed senior lead, working with staff, parents and pupils across all 10 sites. • Provide relevant training and expertise to staff and pupils, which will be a key part of how bids are scored.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
A supplier without the capacity to deliver and support around 9,000 devices across 10 schools over five years, or without the financial strength and insurance for a £6 million contract and proven experience of working with schools, would most likely be excluded.
How to bid
