Advantage Schools - ICT Managed Service

Advantage Schools encompasses circa 6.540 pupils cross 10 sites. The Trust is a mix of Primary and Secondary settings and is the result of a merger in September 2024 of The Shared Learning Trust and Advantage Schools. The vision of the Trust is to provide all children with the highest quality of teaching of an excellent academic curriculum, which enables them to become highly educated and to be full and active participants of society. We do not make exceptions in our high aspirations. The merger of The Shared Learning Trust with Advantage Schools came about because the ten schools agree that: • Every child should benefit from a broad, ambitious, knowledge-rich curriculum, taught by highly skilled teachers. • Every school must have a well-designed and well-sequenced curriculum, which ensures children build knowledge in a broad range of subjects before going on to specialise after the age of 16. • Every child must be taught this broad and ambitious curriculum in a school with high expectations and strong standards of behaviour. • All children can and will benefit disproportionately from being taught in this family of schools. The Trust is taking the opportunity to go to the market to identify the best innovative and forward-looking partner to support them in the delivery and development of their ICT provision over the next five years. The new service will be fully out-sourced and begin on the 27th July 2026 This procurement includes (but may not be limited to) the items listed below. • A core managed service, management of all ICT against an agreed SLA • 24 x 7 x 365 remote monitoring and management • A Service Desk, available 50 weeks a year including out of hours access • Local staffing which suppliers deem necessary to deliver the service and meet the SLA requirements - 50 weeks onsite in schools and the Head Office • Strategic advice and direction to the Trust regarding ICT • Responsibility for design, specification, installation, and management of all ICT infrastructure • Supply of goods and services based on an agreed Best Value approach • Management of 3rd parties where relevant to the ICT support • Relevant monitoring, management, patching • Regular performance reporting • CPD and training - digital skills and curriculum as necessary • There is an expectation that the provider will support and/or drive innovation • Maintain technical documentation • Maintain operational documentation, for example inventory management and risk registers • Collective partnership targets aligned to the Trust objectives • Suppliers may be required to deliver a range of technology and change management projects in addition to the providing the core managed service.

Incentive Development for Car-Free Visitor Journeys

Background to this project: The West Midlands Growth Plan will create a new West Midlands Net Zero Five Year Plan. As a nationally accredited destination development partnership, West Midlands DDP has a responsibility to support and align this through regenerative tourism within the region and to share learning and best practice with other destinations across England. Therefore, we wish to appoint a consultant, or partner agency, who will work with our regional attractions and venues to develop and market incentives that encourage visitors to arrive via car-free journeys and by using active travel, to support our regional net zero aims. A range of businesses representing a cross-section of the DDP geography will be selected to work with the appointed supplier to develop and market visitor incentives which will encourage car-free journeys. Project Aims This project will support regenerative tourism within the West Midlands. Firstly, by encouraging more visitors to arrive by train, bus, bike, and foot, it will deliver a sustainability benefit by contributing to efforts to reduce CO2 from private vehicle emissions. Secondly, it will open up access to venues for travellers without a car – thus making everyone welcome – and supporting greater inclusivity. By working with the appointed supplier, businesses will feel informed and empowered to develop targeted incentives for car-free visits. The supplier will also offer marketing support to businesses to drive awareness and consideration of making car-free visits among target audiences. This project will build visitor / leisure use of the region’s public transport, creating incentives to improve the network connectivity and evidence to close out any ‘last mile’ barriers, where bus, tram or train connections stop short of visitor attractions and experiences. Finally, the project will act as a pilot to inspire more businesses across the West Midlands to adopt incentives that will help visitors to travel car-free. Case studies from the project will help businesses to understand how they can contribute to net zero and attract new visitor audiences – achieving positive sustainability outcomes – both environmentally and financially.
