Herts for Learning Ltd (the ‘Company’) currently receives its ICT services from Hertfordshire County Council (HCC). As Herts for Learning matures as a stand-alone corporate entity then increasingly these services do not fully support it's business strategy. As part of Herts for Learning's strategy of continuous improvement it now wishes to purchase and implement its own ICT services. This will allow it to specify and manage ICT that is tailored to support its own strategic business objectives.

The aim of this procurement is to purchase an ICT service that is tailored to meet Herts for Learning's needs.

This procurement is not being divided in to Lots because the Company wishes to procure an end-to-end service from a single supplier.

Tenderers should be aware that due to the nature of the services provided, any contract formed as a result of this procurement process shall be executed as a deed and attested under the common seal of the Company. Tenderers should seek independent legal advice on the implications of this prior to submitting their tender, where appropriate.
