Finance software for maintained schools

Regarding the Council’s next financial software tender, in particular for the software you use for your maintained schools, please provide:

1. When your current contract ends and who it is currently with and when you will be going to tender?

Devon County Council does not hold this information. This is because the software sits with the schools for Financial Management suite (FMS), Financial Reporting suite (FRS) and The Access Group – Budgeting (previously known as HCSS).  All maintained schools enter into contracts with their provider. Devon County Council does not tender for maintained schools’ financial software.
