Tender description

Hackney Learning Trust (HLT) is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced provider to further consolidate and stabilise its internal and public facing web propositions onto a single, cloud based, fully integrated, enterprise solution. HLT wishes to appoint a single provider and the contract term will be a maximum of three years, commencing in February 2017. HLT is therefore seeking an alternative platform that is much more flexible, and cost effective, and in implementing that platform we are seeking to move from our internal servers to a cloud hosted solution in order to provide a more resilient infrastructure that is secure and stable, includes effective disaster recovery, and enables us to reduce infrastructure costs. HLT wishes to appoint a single provider and the contract term will be a maximum of three years, commencing in February 2017. Much of HLT's core web proposition was standardised on the SharePoint 2007 platform as part of a major Corporate Website Migration Project in 2014. However, standardising on SharePoint 2007 was always intended to be an interim solution and we are now seeking to move to a more cohesive infrastructure. HLT is therefore seeking an alternative platform that is much more flexible, and cost effective, and in implementing that platform we are seeking to move from our internal servers to a cloud hosted solution in order to provide a more resilient infrastructure that is secure and stable, includes effective disaster recovery, and enables us to reduce infrastructure costs.
