Tender description

Medway Adult Education have used an MIS (AQUA), based on Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) funding rules and regulations, for the past 20 years. The software is expected to be written to conform with all ESFA funding requirements, to produce funding claims and to record data regarding learners, courses and staff. As the incumbent provider is no longer able to supply the software, the Council is therefore looking to procure a replacement system and service in order to manage our provision and to produce funding claims.

About the buyer

Medway Council governs the Medway towns in Kent, and buys as a local authority with its own central procurement team. All contracting opportunities are advertised on the Kent Business Portal, where suppliers can search live tenders and set up email alerts. Suppliers must also register on the Central Digital Platform, a requirement since the Procurement Act 2023 took effect. Dynamic purchasing systems cover recurring needs such as SEND transport, supported living and agency staff recruitment. Premarket engagement with suppliers shapes tender requirements before contracts go live. The council also publishes its full contracts register on the same portal.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Medway Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and health and social work.
