The Trust currently encompasses 5 schools and circa 1400 pupils. Like many Trusts, GLT have brought together a group of schools all of which originally had their own ICT strategies, technologies, support arrangements, finances, teaching and learning approaches using ICT etc., so from a Trust perspective GLT 'inherited' a number of 'ICT islands'. Progress has been made to begin to join up but it is acknowledged that a more strategic approach is required to enable ICT to support teaching, learning, administration and management on a trust wide basis. GLT was established in 2019 and has a considered growth strategy. In summary the Trust may encompass 6-10 schools over the next 5 years. We are proud of our strong vision, centred around high quality collaboration, a sharp focus on school improvement, innovative staff training and active connections with like-minded schools, academies and trusts in our local area. Our team strongly believes that our focus and drive will enable Grove Learning Trust to thrive and be successful as a family of schools to which schools and their communities are proud to belong. Our Vision: ### Creating Remarkable Futures We will achieve this for all the schools in our trust by: - Creating an environment where everyone feels proud to belong and can be themselves - Enabling families to access outstanding provision with seamless and effective transition from one stage to the next - Championing and nurturing children so that they are confident and independent citizens - Planning and delivering an engaging and wide curriculum so that life opportunities are broadened - Supporting children and adults, through active school-to-school connections, exemplary teaching and professional development, to be aspirational and lifelong learners - Encouraging our community of schools to enjoy a safe and sustainable environment, treading softly and mindfully to protect the Earth for centuries to come - Engaging with communities collaboratively, promoting collective responsibility for inclusive and outward facing relationships, eradicating isolation in whatever form it exists - Sharing successes and helping each other to realise that learning has no limits For the purposes of this shortlisting stage bidders should assume that the Stage 2 ITT will include, but is not be limited to; - strategic advice and direction to the Trust regarding ICT - a 42 week core service, incorporating on-site staff/visits as necessary - Service desk - local staffing that bidders deem necessary to deliver the SLA - responsibility for design, specification, installation, and management of all ICT infrastructure - supply of goods and services based on an agreed Best Value (BV) approach - management of all ICT against an agreed SLA - management of 3rd parties - relevant monitoring, management, patching and reporting - training - technical and curriculum as necessary - expectation that the provider will drive innovation - risk registers and inventory management - collective partnership targets aligned to the Trusts objectives - in school support for the integration and upgrade of the connectivity, communications and security infrastructure Bidders should note the following: - The Trust will provide a standard contract as part of the ITT Pack - There is no requirement for TUPE from existing suppliers.
