As we prepare for the transition from the E2BN framework to the new HEART Academies Trust framework, we’ve brought together the key information and resources you’ll need to understand what’s changing and what it means for you. Whether you are a school, trust or a supplier, you’ll find guidance and support to help you navigate the transition.
The Everything ICT Framework is moving from E2BN to HEART Academies Trust. This is a planned and standard process, designed to keep your procurement experience seamless and compliant. All contracts awarded on or before 19 July 2026 under the current E2BN framework will continue to be fully protected and supported, with no change to delivery or service.
We expect the new HEART Academies Trust framework to be in place before the current one expires, so you can be confident there will be no disruption to your procurement, contracts, or ongoing support.
HEART Academies Trust is the new framework authority for Everything ICT. As a forward-thinking and education-focused trust, HEART is dedicated to supporting schools and MATs with compliant, innovative, and high-quality procurement solutions.
HEART also places great importance on sustainability and wider social impact. As a sustainable education trust, it is committed to making a positive contribution to the environment, with its schools embracing eco-friendly practices that not only support today’s learners, but help safeguard the future for generations to come. This commitment is further strengthened through collaboration with trusted partners who help deliver meaningful social value.
We recognise you may have questions about what the transition means for your organisation. To support you, you’ll find a range of downloadable guides and FAQs below for both customers and suppliers.
