What the notice says

This opportunity is for the appointment of an experienced supplier to design, build and host websites for 41 schools across the Multi-Academy Trust. The solution must enable each school's individual identity to be clearly represented, while operating within a cohesive, trust wide digital framework that supports quality, statutory compliance and effective oversight. The proposed design approach should be sufficiently flexible to reflect the differing needs, audiences and characteristics of the Trust's primary, secondary and all-through schools while maintaining a consistent user experience and brand alignment across the Trust.
