In addition to Liverpool extending their joint partnership it seems that Telford & Wrekin will follow the same path with Serco. However Partnerships for Schools, who obviously control the flow of funds, are anti this approach, as they believe that the ICT need to be procured in conjunction with the building programme in order to achieve tight integration and a combined approach to Education Transformation through the LEP.

Yeap I think that will be the way forward on this one, if it doesn't go in-house.

Unfortunately Morse have all but withdrawn from the BSF market. They retain the STaG contract but won't be pursuing any other opportunity and have withdrawn from Durham. Personally I think this is a huge mistake, but thankfully other integrators like Agilisys and Logica have entered the market. See there annoucement to the City here... Morse - Investor Relations - City Announcements - Interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2008 Brief Summary says... ------------------------------------------------ Morse in Education performed below expectations resulting in a review of the business * South Tyneside and Gateshead (STaG) ‘Building Schools for the Future’ (BSF) project will now be managed as a stand alone project reporting into the Managing Director of the Division * Sales and management team of the division have been made redundant, additional restructuring charge of £0.1 million in the second half of the financial year ------------------------------------- Regards, Andy Davies.

Here's my list of contracts so far which is up to date. I'm also putting together the consortium and who's bidding for what at the moment.. Andy Davies BSF Wiki / The Scoreboard
