  5. And the ICT?

  6. Computer says No?

  7. What is a Managed Service? At its simplest a Managed Service consists of a single contract designed to deliver all ICT systems and services. This comprises provision of and support for: • Learning Platform including MIS, VLE and learning content • Wide area network – probably linking to the LA’s broadband service • Institutional infrastructure (School LAN) • All users’ equipment: access devices; peripherals, etc. • Network services: user account management; e-mail; back-up; virus protection; Internet filtering and/or monitoring; curriculum software servers; video-conferencing; etc

  8. And….. • Anywhere, anytime access for all users • Integration of legacy hardware and software • Change management: operational training; pedagogical training • ICT for school administration • Helpdesk • Technical support • Refresh and sustainability • Local choice

  9. ICT Output Specification & OBC • e.g. the facility for visually impaired students to be able to access their personal, adapted profile from whatever user device they may choose to use at any location

  10. Output specification. • Design and Installation Requirements (Learning platform, infrastructure and equipment) • Transition and Implementation Requirements • Operational Requirements • Finance and Management Requirements

  11. ICT Output Specification inc. Local Choice Fund The ICT Supply Chain – how it works LEP Bidding Consortium inc. Construction, FM, F&E, ICT ICT Partner / key supplier Active network kit Computer hardware Specialist hardware Services – AV, email Peripheral devices Curriculum software VLE MIS Tech Support Training central provision some school choice full school choice

  12. How is a Managed Service financed? • BSF capital: £225 per pupil place for passive network infrastructure • BSF capital: £1450 per pupil place for equipment, software and services This is a way of describing the overall ICT funding envelope. It is NOT an allocation formula for schools. • School revenue: annual contribution for the 5-year life of the ICT contract to fund on-going maintenance of the ICT managed service: ‘extra’ elements of local choice funds; the refresh pot; training.

  13. What we advise LAs to do. • Ensure schools understand scope of managed services • Ensure schools understand current TCO • Engage all technical staff in discussions • Establish human resources work stream and engage unions • Engage all relevant staff in development of the output specification • Ensure current staffing position and levels of service are understood

  14. ICT contract • The Contract contains an acknowledgement that technological advances are likely to occur between the date of the Contract and the Implementation at each School. The Contract sets out a process whereby approximately 6-9 months prior to the Planned Services Commencement Date for each School, the Baseline Specification for that School will be revised
