Management Information Sheet

At the end of the summer term we advised that ICT Shared Services had been working with BT to consider two proposed solutions to provide a replacement filtering service that meets schools’ requirements and we had asked BT to formally propose one solution within the context of the managed service for our consideration. We expected to make a decision before the end of term depending on the contractual arrangements that had to be considered but we were unable to reach that stage because we required more information to support the decision. We believe we have found a solution that is a like for like replacement for the current service which can be delivered within the constraints of the current contract, but in addition provides a more granular and flexible solution for those schools that require it.

We intend to move to the new service as soon as possible through a formal project once the solution has been validated by our commercial team, technical processes and approved by the Schools ICT Steering group (19^th September).

We will of course keep you informed on progress.
