The licencing and support for the related hardware and software is due for renewal in January 2016 this tender has been issued therefore to ensure that this solution continues to represent 'best value'. Whilst the corporate requirements have remained largely unchanged over the term of our current contract, the requirements in schools has changed in line with the increased use of mobile technology and online learning so as a result we are interested in receiving responses from suppliers delivering independent solutions as well as combined proposals.
