MIS contract ending in 2027, or sooner? you’re not alone. Whether you want to stay with your current provider or explore a better fit, start planning your next step now.
MIS+1 is designed to help schools and trusts navigate a compliant procurement route, with clear pricing and contract terms that balance continuity today with flexibility for the future.
Tell us your current provider and contract end date. We’ll help you understand the next steps.
Your current contract is coming to an end and you want to explore whether another MIS would be a better fit for your school or trust.
You may not want to commit too far ahead, but you also do not want to stand still or drift into the wrong arrangement by default.
MIS+1 can help you run a compliant procurement now, compare supplier responses clearly, and shape a contract structure that supports continuity and keeps future options open.
You have already made the change to a newer platform and do not want unnecessary disruption.
What you need now is a compliant route that supports continuity, reflects your current operational needs, and gives you room to respond as the wider picture develops.
MIS+1 can support renewals, extensions or a mini-competition, depending on what is right for your setting.
Your MIS supports everyday school life, from attendance and administration to reporting and communication. When it’s time to review your contract, you need confidence in both the system and the arrangement behind it.
MIS+1 offers a supported approach to MIS procurement, helping you consider your supplier options alongside contract terms, implementation, support and future flexibility.
The DfE’s proposed Management Information Systems for Schools framework is still progressing through market engagement, with further detail yet to be confirmed.
We can help you:
Everything ICT remains a compliant procurement route for MIS and can support renewals, extensions and new mini-competitions now, while helping customers build in flexibility through appropriate contract terms, break clauses, exit planning, data portability and transparent pricing.
Every school and MAT has different priorities. Some need a short-term bridge. Others need a longer agreement with clear pricing, support and flexibility.
MIS+1 can be shaped around your circumstances, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Understand the initial term, extension options, notice deadlines and any automatic renewal provisions.
Compare the proposed costs for your preferred term, including additional services and any charges associated with an agreed early exit.
Clarify data ownership, export formats, associated costs and the support available if you move provider.
Include the migration, integrations, training and support your team needs to use the system confidently.
The DfE’s direction of travel is consistent with the procurement support Everything ICT already provides.
Through our current MIS procurement approach, we help customers simplify the process, obtain clearer and more comparable pricing, consider data access and export requirements, and reduce the risk of supplier lock-in through appropriate contract structure, notice provisions, break clauses and exit planning.
We help customers tailor their specification to their actual requirements, including modules, integrations, support arrangements, migration, training, data ownership and future flexibility.
You may want to use MIS+1 if you need:

Share your current provider, contract end date and whether you’re looking to stay, switch or explore both options.

Together, we identify your priorities, preferred timescales and the procurement route appropriate to your circumstances.

We support supplier engagement and any required competition, helping you compare pricing, service proposals and contract terms.

You choose the outcome that suits your school or trust. We support the procurement through to award, with continuity and future flexibility considered throughout.
If your current MIS contract is due to expire soon, it is sensible to start planning early. MIS procurement, implementation and migration can take time, particularly where you are reviewing the market or managing a change in provider.
Before you begin, it helps to check:
