Description

The purpose of the tender will be to build a new database solution to administer Statutory Plant Health Notices (SPHN). The solution will include initially the five big pests and diseases but will need to be scalable to incorporate others in the future. Our current access database is not fit for purpose - it does not support data capture workflows for all five big pests and diseases. The SPHN Management solution will be made up of the following components - combination of workflow, geospatial elements, case management, document generation, reporting and dashboard and server capabilities. Our solution will integrate ESRI and Microsoft components - ESRI components will be developed in house with Inventory, Forecasting and Operational Support (IFOS) - (ArcGIS and Forester products) - we do not need external contractors for this element. The Microsoft components will be developed with external specialists, and internally with our IT Team who manage our Microsoft tenancy The overall solution and integration will be developed with development and integration specialist contractors. We therefore want to hear from contractors who have specialist skills and experience in the Microsoft components as well as the integration. We would like to start by building a prototype to test and validate the design, functionality and overall concept before we go ahead with full-scale development. We want to work with an external specialist who will develop an early, simplified version of the proposed solution and work with us all the way through to the full solution going live.

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.
