Oasis Community Learning is one of the largest multi-academy educational trusts in England, a family of 52 academies (primary, secondary and all-through academies) in five regions across the country which is likely to increase over the life of the contract. Each?of our academies, and the services behind them, are committed to?creating an exceptional?entitlement that ensures that our students have real choice in their lives. We want them to leave at the end of their time at school equipped, ready and eager to make the most of their next steps. We are also committed to a model of inclusion, equality, and healthy relationships and this permeates all aspects of the life and culture of each academy and the organisation as a whole. Our vision is to create "Exceptional Education at the Heart of the Community" for our 32,000+ students. We look to deliver an exceptional education to our students and to achieve this we require innovative, up to date and reliable IT infrastructure and systems providing the trust value for money. Oasis is looking for a holistic Trust-wide WAN/Connectivity solution to cover their entire estate. This trust-wide WAN/Connectivity Solution will include site-to-site connectivity and managed internet access (potentially incorporating web filtering), capable of supporting the trusts web filtering, safeguarding, site-to-site backups and telephony requirements, amongst oth...y and the management information system, autonomously 'failover'.
