What the notice says

This is a Pre-Market Engagement Exercise for Lift Schools. The purpose of this preliminary market engagement exercise is to inform suppliers in the market and gain information to inform a potential future procurement. At this stage, any information gathered through this exercise will inform the Trust internal business planning and the subsequent procurement process. For the avoidance of doubt, this is the scoping phase and is not part of a formal procurement process. Lift Schools was founded in 2008 (as Academies Enterprise Trust) and we currently have a total of 59 schools (primary, secondary and special) and is an exempt charitable company. Our turnover for the year 2023/24 was £290.7m. Currently the trust spans over 5 regions in England from Isle of Wight to Middlesbrough. The Trust is interested in understanding the market, and whether vendors can supply all of the components/modules we are looking to procure before commencing a formal tender process: Advanced Data Analytics & Automation Attendance Threshold Response Strategic Support Training & Capacity Building
