Tove Learning Trust Financial Software

Preliminary Market Engagement:
Financial Management System
Issued by: Tove Learning Trust (TLT)
Target Audience: Financial Software Providers and ERP Vendors
1. Overview and Purpose
Tove Learning Trust is looking to upgrade its core finance software across our central team and our growing community of academies. We are running this pre-market engagement exercise to let prospective suppliers know what we need from a system and to see what solutions are currently available in the market.
We need a modern, resilient, cloud-hosted platform that can handle multiple school entities seamlessly. The system must make life easier for our staff by cutting down on repetitive administrative tasks, while providing clear, straightforward financial tools for both our core finance teams and non-specialist staff like Headteachers and budget holders.
This Preliminary Market Engagement exercise is issued for information gathering purposes only. It does not constitute a call for competition, invitation to tender, or any commitment by Tove Learning Trust to commence a procurement process. Participation in this exercise will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement.
