The brief

Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) on behalf of LGSS Finance wishes to invite Tenders to set up a sole supplier Framework for the supply of services in respect of Schools Financial Planning Tool.

LGSS Finance is looking for a web-based hosted solution, please note that it is not looking for a bespoke software development.

It is estimated that the total value of the framework will not be less than �45,000 or greater than �750,000.However there will be no guarantee of work or volume of work to be given under this framework contract.

The Cambridge Schools Team ('CST') provide a Financial and Support Service to schools and academies within Cambridgeshire.

The support service is centred on two financial toolkits.

The Budgetary Control Report (BCR)toolkit and the Schools Budgeting toolkit (SBT), which provide the ability for a school to plan, set and monitor their budgets.

The tools are important to ensure that the information sent to the Council for statutory purposes is submitted in a consistent format for the Council.

The service also provides first line support for the tool, a consultancy service and training.

Schools are able to buy some or all of the service provided, and currently CST have 176 maintained schools reporting to them (as of September 2016), and are supporting a handful of academies.

Schools Financial Services will provide training and a skills support service for all users, although technical support will be required from the provider.

The use of the product to schools/academies within this solution is to be controlled by the Schools Financial Services.

Please see ITT for further information.
