- Why no open competition
New works/services, constituting a repetition of existing works/services and ordered in accordance with the strict conditions stated in the directive
- Published justification
The award of this contract is happening because we ran a large tender awarded on the Everything ICT Framework to upgrade infrastructure and migrate our schools to a single central cloud hosted domain with upgraded internet service. XMA have worked with our Trust across all our schools and have built a good relationship with staff. They are a trusted provider of technology and support to our Trust. XMA built our cloud hosted provision and have a thorough understanding of the technical aspects required to onboard new schools. The risk of using a different provider is that they change the setup or configuration of the network and disconnect schools and cause issues pan trust.
Publisher note: Work to be completed ready for September 3rd 2023 subject to building surveys and access. If not possible, a minimum solution needs to be in place with further work to be scheduled out of school hours and school holidays.
