two.1.4) Short description
It is the desire of the Trust to move to a single, off-site/cloud-hosted MIS platform across all of its schools, and this is the purpose of this procurement. The Trust also recognises the importance of having the MIS as the 'Single Version of the Truth' in respect of pupil and staff records as the source of all identities across all systems within the Trust which should ensure seamless, automatic update processes wherever possible. In this way, as far as is practicable, the Trust wishes to avoid:
• Duplication of the effort currently involved in replicating key data fields across a variety of applications;
• Manual data transfer processes which require human intervention;
• Data transfers which involve scheduled 'batch' processes as these lead to latency in updates;
• The kinds of issues created by accidental mis-typing or shortening of names etc. that often lead to multiple different data entries for the same individual.
The Trust has decided to seek a partnership with the successful bidder, which will be tasked with all the necessary activities and processes involved in:
• Designing, Programme/Project Managing and Implementing a single MIS across all its school sites;
• Migrating the data held in current systems;
• Comprehensive acceptance testing;
• Training users in the system's use; and
• Supporting and maintaining the solution for up to five years and will contract accordingly.
