Management Information Sheet
Management Information System for Norfolk - Contract Award
Further to MI Sheets 79/10 (published on 8 May 2010), 26/10 (published on 6 February 2010) and 213/09 (published on 31 October 2009) we would like to inform you of the result of the Tender.
The outcome of the evaluation process has resulted in a new supplier for Norfolk - Capita SIMS. All three suppliers have been evaluated using exactly the same methods. The process itself consisted of a number of activities involving both the LA and School representatives whom together identified Capita as the preferred supplier.
The schools involved in the process were:
Alderman Swindell, Great Yarmouth
All Saints Primary, Winfarthing
Brooklands Pupil Referral Unit
Chapel Break Infants, Bowthorpe
Dickleburgh Primary
Fakenham High
Gresham Village
Grimston Junior
Hellesdon High
John Grant
Kinsale Junior, Hellesdon
Mundesley Junior
Ormesby Junior
Parkside
Recreation Road Infants, Sprowston
Rockland St Mary Primary
Rosemary Musker High
Sheringham Primary
Sprowston High
Sutton Primary
The Belfry Primary, Overstrand
The Bishops Primary, Thetford
The Rosebery Centre, Gaywood
Wayland High School, Watton
West Walton Primary
Wymondham High
The evaluations have been independently checked and verified by ESPO.
Therefore the evaluation process is now complete. ESPO informed all three suppliers of the outcome on 9 July and Contract Award will be officially made to Capita on 19 July 2010 subject to no challenges from the unsuccessful suppliers. There is a ten day stand-still period for this to happen. If a challenge is made then Contract Award will be delayed.
The Contract from Capita includes the following core licence modules:
Core Suite
Curriculum with Assessment and Reporting Suite
Learning Gateway
IEP Writer
Lesson Monitor (Secondary only)
In addition to the core licence the modules below were identified as being important to schools. You will have the option to choose these as part of your SIMS system. These optional modules are available at additional cost:
Next Steps
As soon as the Contract is officially awarded we will be working closely with Schools and Capita to determine the options for transition before finalising the implementation plans. We would hope to start implementation early in the autumn term with those schools who want to be "early adopters".
We will be setting up a web site to keep you regularly updated on progress. In the meantime please let me have your feedback and views.
