Education Authority · Education

In brief

Education Authority awarded IT and software work to Mri Software Limited on 31 March 2026.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

What the notice says

To ensure continuity of critical and emergency response maintenance, the current proprietary Manhattan system must be retained beyond 1 April 2026. Development of live reporting functionality within Term Service Contractors’ systems cannot be completed by this date, and as Manhattan is proprietary, its maintenance cannot be transferred to another supplier. A Direct Award Contract is therefore required to mitigate operational risk and maintain uninterrupted service delivery until the new solution is fully implemented, with an anticipated IWMS Go-Live in October 2026
