Description

The Trust is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform a future compliant procurement for long-term financial and accounting support services. The Trust currently operates nine primary schools and will expand to ten schools from April 2026 with the addition of a secondary school. The Trust serves approximately 3,000 pupils and has an annual turnover exceeding £15 million. The scale and complexity of the Trust's financial operations will increase significantly with the introduction of the secondary phase and is expected to continue to grow. The Trust currently commissions outsourced financial and accounting support equivalent to approximately three days per week. Future arrangements are expected to be of broadly comparable scale to enable fair comparison across delivery models. Through this engagement, the Trust seeks to understand the market's capacity, delivery approaches, service models, and indicative cost structures for delivering resilient, high-quality financial and accounting services to a growing Multi-Academy Trust. This notice is issued solely for preliminary market engagement and does not constitute a call for competition.
