Agilisys Awarded Selected Bidder Status to Provide ICT Services to St. Helens Council's Building Schools for the Future (BSF) Programme
LONDON, June 15, 2010--
- Generations of Learners Throughout St. Helens to Benefit From Major ICT
Investment to Transform Learning Environments Through the Building Schools
for the Future programme
Agilisys, the UK's most innovative IT services and outsourcing provider,
has been awarded Selected Bidder status for a contract worth provisionally
GBP35m to provide ICT services to the St. Helens Council BSF programme. Just
under half of this is for the capital cost whilst the remainder is for an
eight-year managed service covering all secondary and primary education
establishments across the whole of the borough's estate, including non-BSF
schools.
Agilisys was selected as part of a consortium called Environments for
Learning (E4L) together with Interserve and Barclays Investments.
Following a rigorous evaluation process, on Wednesday June 2nd the
Council appointed E4L as its selected bidder to start the crucial building
work later this year under the St. Helens BSF programme.
The BSF programme will see a provisional GBP150m invested in St. Helens
secondary schools over the next few years, giving the opportunity to
transform education for generations of learners, providing state of the art
teaching and learning facilities and services for community use. Eleven
schools in the Borough are expected to benefit from the BSF scheme.
It is anticipated that work will begin this summer at the two sample
sites, Rainford High Technical College and De La Salle School, with the
buildings due to open - and be fully operational - by September 2012. Kay
Andrews, Agilisys CEO, commented: "This is an exciting opportunity for us to
transform the learning environments across the Borough, through the
implementation of innovative IT solutions. The BSF programme will change
people's lives and we are delighted to be a part of that."
