Data Insight Solution for Essex Schools

Essex County Council (ECC) is seeking to procure a Data Insight Monitoring and Analytics Tool tailored for use in Secondary Schools. The authority is at an early stage of this procurement, and prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, seeks input from the market.

This solution would empower schools with data analytics and monitoring capabilities designed to enhance student progress, track student performance and facilitate the creation of targeted student plans as well as enhance overall decision-making processes within schools.

Currently ECC is looking for the intended solution to potentially provide the following: • Performance Analytics and Reporting functionality based around Student Progress. • Monitoring functionality around student progress at both individual student level as well as on wider class data. • User Friendly and Customisable interface (such as filtering system based around top-down view per student or per class). • The functionality to supply and circulate national data on the day of exam results. • Generation of 'What if' calculations regarding projected scores for students to help with predictive reporting. • The Functionality to generate and build bespoke reports, providing individualised, targeted innovations, designed for school improvement.

This exercise will provide an opportunity for the Council to obtain insight into the nuances of the marketplace. It also gives useful early insight into the likely level of interest from that market. This will help shape the requirement. Any information gathered will not be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process.
