Dear Supplier, Thank you for your interest in the Your Education Technology Open Framework (PA 2023) for the provision of ICT products, services and solutions. Due to a technical issue with our e-sender platform, the original Tender Notice was published with an incorrect currency. Despite our efforts to resolve this issue, it has not been possible to amend the published notice. We have therefore taken the decision to cancel the original Tender Notice and republish the opportunity directly through Find a Tender. Please note that the procurement opportunity is continuing, and the cancellation relates to the original published notice only. The replacement Tender Notice can be accessed here: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/096310-2026?origin=SearchResults&p=1 Please be aware that amendments have been made to both the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) and the procurement timetable. All interested suppliers, including those who have already expressed an interest in the original opportunity, should access the replacement notice and download the updated tender documentation. Suppliers should ensure that any submissions are prepared in accordance with the revised documentation and deadlines. The documentation and deadlines associated with the original opportunity should no longer be relied upon. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience and understanding. Kind regards, Procurement & Partnerships Team Nexus Multi Academy Trust.
