What the notice says
Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.
This is an information gathering exercise named Preliminary Market Engagement. The purpose of this exercise is to gather information from suppliers who provide Software Licenses & Associated Services for Academies and Schools, outlined within the document available on Multiquote, to assist in forming the framework to meet the members requirement.
We are looking to review the lot structure of the framework and engage with potential suppliers to create a proposed basket of goods to meet our varying member’s needs.
Following this, we aim to go out to tender, to form a framework that offers Software Licenses & Associated Services for Academies and Schools to the education sector
Please complete the questionnaire along with the Preliminary Market Engagement Declaration. Details are available via MultiQuote: https://suppliers.multiquote.com. MultiQuote reference CA16627
Any resulting framework from this exercise will be available to Further Education Institutions, Universities, Sixth Forms, Academies, Schools, Museums and other similar organisations who are CPC Members (https://www.thecpc.ac.uk/members/regions.php) and all CPC future members (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/get-information-about-schools). Local Authorities may also wish to use the resulting framework when procuring on behalf of Educational Establishments.
If you wish to be involved in this Preliminary Market Engagement, please complete the questionnaire and sign and return the embedded Preliminary Market Declaration document by 11.59pm on 20th November 2025. MultiQuote reference CA16627
