Multi-supplier ICT framework for UK education providers covering services and hardware.
Nexus Multi Academy Trust is establishing a multi-supplier ICT Procurement Framework for education sector contracting authorities. The framework covers ICT support services and managed services (Lot 1), professional services including consultancy and training (Lot 2), and hardware supply (Lot 3). It is open to eligible education providers in the UK and aims to provide a compliant route to market. The procurement uses the Open Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with multiple suppliers per lot. The framework is developed by Nexus, a CIPS-accredited trust supported by the DfE ESCC/TALI initiative.
