LSFED Management Information System (MIS)

The Leathersellers’ Federation comprises three LA maintained schools governed by a single strategic governing board located in the Lewisham, south east London offering education from Nursery to Sixth Form. The Federation wishes to enter into a contract with a Supplier to supply, implement and support a Management Information System (MIS), for use by the Federations schools, including all of its current schools and any future schools that join the Federation over the contract term. Our main objective is to appoint a single provider of a Management Information System, delivered using a cloud hosted or software as a service (SaaS) model for use by the Federation and its schools. The single MIS solution must support from Nursery to Year 13.

The Leathersellers’ Federation (LSFED or Federation) comprises three LA maintained schools located in the Lewisham, south east London offering education from Nursery to Sixth Form. The Federation wishes to enter into a contract with a Supplier to supply, implement and support a Management Information System (MIS), for use by the Federation and all of its current schools and any future schools that join the Federation over the contract term. Our main objective is to appoint a single provider of a Management Information System, delivered using a cloud hosted or software as a service (SaaS) model for use by the Federation and its schools. The single MIS solution must support from Nursery to Year 13. There will be a requirement to migrate data from the Federation's incumbent MIS product.

The Federation’s main objectives are:

a) to identify a single provider of a Management Information System, delivered using a cloud hosted or software as a service model (SaaS) that meets the requirements of the Federation and its schools, covering Nursery to Year 13

b) to develop good practice in the use of the MIS across the Federation’s schools by setting a common baseline configuration for the LSFED MIS, with the option for each school to personalise aspects important to their school operations but not to the detriment of the consistency of MIS functionality

c) to reduce user error and to improve efficiency by working towards a single point of truth for all data assets through increased integration with third party products

d) to identify opportunities to rationalise or replace functionality provided by add-on/3rd party products currently in use

e) to enable improved data access, analysis and reporting at the Federation level and particularly for strategic Governor insight

f) to realign contract dates so that MIS contracts co-terminate for all schools

g) to onboard all schools without disruption and to ensure all users are effectively trained in the use of the MIS

We do not currently plan to phase the onboarding of the schools onto the new MIS contract as we aim to implement a Federation-wide Go Live in July 2022.

The maximum contract duration will be seven (7) years and two months (2) from contract signature. The initial term of the Contract shall be for a period of five (5) years and two (2) months (for onboarding), with an option of up to two 1-year extensions.

The Federation is administering the Tender process in accordance with the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Open Procedure). This requires Tenderers to submit responses to both the Selection Questionnaire and the Evaluation Questions included within the Invitation to Tender by the tender deadline. All Tenderers that pass all mandatory and minimum elements of the Selection Questionnaire will have their responses to the Evaluation Questions within the Invitation to Tender evaluated.
