Guest theeldergeek Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 From my line manager and Deputy Head - Sweet! I've been told that BSF won't happen in East Sussex, full stop, which was very welcome news. I suspect the above is what will happen in our school if it does though.
torledo Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 From my line manager and Deputy Head - Sweet! So what happens to the IT spend per pupil if they don't take the managed service......do they still get some or all of it ?
localzuk Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Somerset has gone to RM as preferred bidder From chairs to networks RM is providing a bottom up solution for Somerset BSF pppFocus.com Its irritating to me how Somerset are consistently failing to address the rest of the county when they talk about BSF. The only area they have discussed so far is Bridgewater. Leaves the rest of us in the lurch about what is happening and when!
GrumbleDook Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Our school was built in 2003, opened september 2004 and we pay rent to the company that built the building for the next 25 years. We had a managed it service for the first 4 years and it was rubbish, then they were removed and shortly after I came in, do we have to worry about BSF??? It really does vary from wave to wave, from LA to LA. Some LAs might look at using PFI builds (even if they never had or have dropped a managed ICT service) as bolstering the contract for the MSP. Others will steer completely clear of it ... especially if they have had their fingers burnt already. Sorry I can't give you something more concrete but you could get your SLT to ask the LA what teh position is, based on the worry that they might end up with another poor setup.
GoldenWonder Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 From my line manager and Deputy Head - Sweet! We're getting a refurb here (some buildings knocked down, some upgraded and some joining of existing buildings) and I've been told that the managed service is part of this. Even a local PFI school is expected to subscribe to the MSP in the end.
