What happened

Lingfield Education Trust awarded this contract to ABTEC COMPUTER SOLUTIONS LTD worth £256,176 on 1 Jul 2026. The contract runs until 31 Aug 2031.

Description

The trust's broadband estate is currently split across three providers with contracts expiring at different points between August 2026 and June 2029. Rather than managing each renewal independently, the trust's strategy is to consolidate all 26 schools onto a single infrastructure-agnostic provider via the Government Commercial Agency Framework, working through 6 phases aligned to each group's contract expiry dates, with the objective of reaching a single co-terminus renewal point in September 2032. This procurement represents phase 1 and includes the following schools:

  • Northwood Primary
  • Hurworth Primary
  • Corporation Road Primary & Trust Office
  • Handale Primary
  • Heathfield Primary
  • Hemlington Hall Primary
  • Preston Primary
  • Mount Pleasant Primary
  • Cambrai Primary
  • Lingdale Primary
  • Golden Flatts Primary
  • Harewood Primary
