II.2.4) Description of the procurement
Prior to the award of these contracts, the current provider -ESS- had a contract with the local authority under which it provided a perpetual licence to the local authority for the purpose of providing SIMS to the schools in the local authority's area, with associated support services.
ESS has now served notice to terminate that contract and requires that, in order to continue provision of SIMS, individual schools must enter into direct contracts with ESS to receive SIMS as software as a service.
In order to bring about the transition, the local authority will enter into a Facilitation Agreement "FA" with ESS under which nothing of value is received by ESS and no material services are provided to the local authority; it is purely an administrative arrangement to effect the transition.
Each school in the local authority's area will enter into a School Contract "SC" with ESS for the direct provision of SIMS as software as a service, at substantially the same cost as before.
The highest value SC over the 3 year contract term is 28226GBP and the lowest value SC is 767GBP.
The schools in the local authority's area whose governing bodies will enter into contracts with ESS are as follows:
- Abertillery Learning Community
- All Saints RC Primary School
- Beaufort Hill Primary School
- Blaen-y-Cwm Primary School
- Bryn Bach Primary School
