The early learning and school funding systems1 are a key part of our education system. They set out how and how much we allocate to providers of education for children and young people, through grants, staffing and property2.
The Ministry currently delivers resourcing3 to the sector using a legacy IT system and other small business systems that have been developed as ‘work-arounds’ over the years. To mitigate the business continuity risk and place the Ministry in a position where it is agile enough to respond to future policy change, the Ministry is seeking to procure technology that is flexible enough to deliver early learning, school and special education resourcing for the current and potential future funding system policies.
To achieve this we have initiated a significant programme of work to:
» develop a flexible, fit for purpose technology platform that can be used to determine and deliver resourcing entitlements across the education sector
» deploy, on the new technology platform, current funding policy to the early learning and school sector including special education needs
» transition off the existing legacy Education Management Information System (EDUMIS)
» transition off small business systems (SBS) that deliver other resourcing to the sector
» implement within the Sector and Ministry the change associated with this transformation programme
The Ministry will provide leadership and coordination at a national level and will initiate three Projects under the Education Resourcing System Programme (ERS Programme):
1. Education Resourcing Technology Project (ERT)
2. EDUMIS Transition Project (ET)
3. Education Resourcing Business Transformation Project (ERBT)
The Ministry invites suppliers who were short-listed from the Registration of Interest in 2015, to participate in a closed RFP and respond to the Ministry with proposals for an end-to-end technology solution. Responses must provide a flexible, fit-for-purpose solution that delivers the capabilities required to determine and deliver resourcing and staffing entitlements. The solution will be configured to deliver resourcing policy initially to the School and Early Childhood Education (ECE) sectors (including Special Education) with the longer term option to introduce the capability to other education sector participants in the future e.g. tertiary.
