Dear colleague
Learning Platform - preferred supplier
I am pleased to inform you that the preferred supplier of the Learning Platform which will be made available to all Derbyshire schools is RM, subject to finalisation of contract. I am sure that this partnership, with one of the leading companies in the field, will help secure the success of this important initiative.
The decision has been taken following a rigorous procurement process. I would like to thank the large number of school staff who gave a significant amount of time to supporting the procurement process. We feel that one of the strengths of the process has been the major role played by school staff at all stages.
We have our first meeting with RM on 22 January 2008 and shortly after that I hope to be able to give more detailed information about the learning platform and the proposed implementation plan.
The initial set up costs of the platform will be met in full by the local authority and we will also be offering fully funded training opportunities to all schools. Further information will be provided soon about the school contribution to the annual charges for the learning platform.
If you have any initial queries about the platform please do not hesitate to contact me. In the meantime, we will be running short introductory briefings for headteachers across the county as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely
Brian RichardsSenior adviser for school improvement
