Atkins managed a major investment in information and communication technology (ICT) in schools in the London Borough of Hackney as part of the UK Government’s Building Schools for the Future programme. We were responsible for the strategic business case through to financial close, implementation and contract negotiations for the second and third phases of the project.

Key activities included visioning and strategy support, ICT output specification, competitive dialogue procurement, ICT design quality indicators, transition planning, programme management, risk management and affordability analysis.

We worked alongside council staff, teachers, school governors and suppliers in order to successfully deliver all elements of the programme on time. Environmental and financial sustainability were key considerations in specifying the ICT requirements and in assessing potential suppliers.
