creese Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Information Management and Learning Services framework - The Department for Education Edited September 19, 2011 by vikpaw update link 1
vikpaw Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Should we maybe merge this to the Becta VFM thread, as that's where it stems from?
GrumbleDook Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I would keep it separate and just put a link from the VFM thread to this one ... this is the next step ... and an important one at that. DfE are still building on things from Becta (oh ... and Becta were so bad they had to be scrapped!) and it does fit in with the work on Academies and Free Schools.
vikpaw Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Didn't put in the link to other thread so here it is: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/mis-systems/64907-becta-reports-school-mis-value-money-2010-a.html The link in first post is now 404 so i'm editing, and also found this interesting section: ICT - The Department for Education which covers systems / services as well as general procurement. Not much info there at the moment. 1
GrumbleDook Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 It has now been released. The framework has been released or that the work has been completed and they are doing the paperwork / legal / contracts / etc?
scholarpack Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 The invitation to tender has been released
nickbro Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 We've just had this come down to us in Powys. We are no longer allowed to go directly to suppliers not on the framework lists, if the value is over 30k, and even then we need to use a special code with that supplier to get a county/DfE discount. We are also only allowed to use the County's Leasing Company, and that leases can only now be 4 years or less. We have come to the end of our current 5 year RM lease (April anyhow), and need to replace stuff, so doing everything on a shoe string as usual, managed to get a good deal with RM, but county have thrown the 3 Framework quotes at us, we had 3 quotes from our usual suppliers, but they didn't use the framework code (as 1 was on the framework list) or weren't on the framework list to begin with. Hopefully we'll get everything in place for the end of the Month so we can meet RM's deal deadline
PhilNeal Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 I must say, it is an interesting read! Is that because it is possible to get on the framework without any software?
scholarpack Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 A rough calculation gives 16.5% of the scoring for the software facilities.
GREED Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Is that because it is possible to get on the framework without any software? That is one aspect. Another is some of the requirements, particularly mandatory ones, that while definitely important, I cannot help think have been included to cover 'loopholes' recently exposed. Definitely comprehensive and I think this is a great opportunity to move the sector forwards. What are your thoughts Phil??
PhilNeal Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Bidders can be disqualified if they reveal the content of the tender documents so I am very limited in what I can say.
penfold_99 Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 This will give you an insight to the framework, found this in the e2bn website. http://www.e2bn.org/files/E2BN_Learning_Platform_Framework_Capita_-_Final.pdf http://www.e2bn.org/files/capita_response.pdf 1
PhilNeal Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Penfold - this doesn't really reflect the "DfE" framework.
GREED Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 Bidders can be disqualified if they reveal the content of the tender documents so I am very limited in what I can say. Understand; I'm only asking your opinion on the overall positioning on the process and eventual framework in the marketplace... certainly not answers to the specific questions!
PhilNeal Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I am still restricted I'm afraid. The tender documents are being reissued today .....
scholarpack Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 The Information Management and Learning Services (IMLS) Framework is now live. LINK 1
vikpaw Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 More interested in the supplier list : Buying Solutions - products & services - suppliers Can't do much else without being registered, which i guess i can't do without being a UK school?

scholarpack Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Yes I believe you have to be a UK school, unfortunately Vikpaw.
vikpaw Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Yes I believe you have to be a UK school, unfortunately Vikpaw. I might try and apply, surely, it's just a tool for comparing, the business at the end goes to the company and helps their exports. Anyway, i'm reading the frameworks, very useful.
GREED Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 A few names we all know, a few we don't on that list.
vikpaw Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 A few names we all know, a few we don't on that list. ..and some we're waiting for
