Building Schools for the Future

Bidding to transform education in Portsmouth

Two leading national companies have been invited to develop their plans further to deliver the ICT in Portsmouth’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.

VT plc and RM Education plc have been invited by the city council to continue to the next stage of the procurement process to deliver ICT in secondary schools throughout Portsmouth.

Councillor John Ireland is cabinet member for Education, Children and Young People at the city council. He said: “After several months of intense work and our close evaluation of initial bids by three companies, we are delighted to invite VT and RM to continue to develop their plans with us for transforming ICT in our secondary schools.”

“Their work has shown these two companies are best placed to be able to deliver ICT in our secondary schools that will transform how our pupils learn in the future. We are excited by their plans so far and look forward to receiving their final bids.”

The final bids from RM and VT must be received in April and the preferred bidder will be selected in May.
