What the notice says

The Council requires the provision of a cloud-based web filtering solution to enable the ICT team to continue to provide web filtering to the maintained school estate which is transitioning from the existing outdated solution. It is crucial that this solution is streamlined to provide a single solution, and therefore needs to align with existing infrastructure in school settings which have already transitioned. Therefore a direct call-off via the NHS SBS DWS2 framework has been identified as the most suitable RtM to ensure compatibility and continuity with previous projects.
