Digital Education Inclusion Consultancy

Moray Council (MC)is publishing this Prior Information Notice (PIN) to ascertain if there are ICT consultancy firms who would have the skills and experience to help support this Authority to further develop its digital approach to raising attainment and to improving access to digital technology for all of our learners.

Our key considerations in making an appointment will be around the development of an inclusive strategic approach that delivers educational results and correspondingly, while our preference would be to engage with a single consultancy firm who would be able to provide devices, as well as providing digital consultancy, this would not be a critical selection criteria for the successful appointment of a consultancy firm.

The wide ranging scope outlined in this PIN may mean that the Authority could consider engaging with more than one supplier in relation to different elements of our strategy where there is a commitment from the providers to work jointly on an agreed approach.

To this end, we are looking for a consultancy:-

• who can demonstrate a creative and innovation approach throughout the process of developing the Council’s Digital Inclusion Strategy;
• that is outcomes driven and places educational attainment at the centre of this project;
• that can meaningfully engage with all stakeholders and, most importantly, our learners in Moray in developing our strategy;
• that we can work with as a trusted expert and who shares our aims and values
• who will embrace a project management approach; and
• with a track record of success in this area

This will mean that the consultancy we are looking for can work at pace, has appropriate experience (at scale and size) and can deliver tangible project outputs within a short lead in time from the acceptance of any contract.
