What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Council is seeking to purchase on behalf of ICT solutions a Remote Monitoring and Management Services for Schools, which will include real-time monitoring of a minimum of 6500 endpoints and support. If additional endpoints are added, ICT solutions will require that the RMM is extended to those additional endpoints.

Norfolk County Council runs ICT Solutions which supports schools with their ICT requirements, and assists several Schools, academies, Multi-Academy Trusts and other educational establishments with their ICT where requested. ICT Solutions is a traded service operated by Norfolk County Council working within its Digital Services department.

Please note

Norfolk County Council has joined the government's Devolution Priority Programme. This process has the potential to lead to the establishment of a county combined authority for Norfolk and Suffolk, with strategic powers, headed by an elected mayor. A consultation is under way.

Government has also invited participation by Norfolk in Local Government Review. This process has the potential to lead to unitary local government in Norfolk. One of these changes could happen without the other.

The contract may be assigned or novated to any successor authority(ies) to Norfolk County Council or to any joint body incorporating or formed by any such successor. The County Council or a successor authority or joint body may order services on behalf of other local authorities serving any area within Norfolk's current geographical boundaries.
