Dear FOI Team,

I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

• How many schools are there in the MAT?
• Do you have a central procurement policy that covers all schools under the MAT?
• Do you have a managed print supplier that covers all schools under the MAT? If so,
o Who is the current provider?
o When does their contract end?
o How many printers and MFDs are in your estate?
o Who is the named person and their role in your organisation in charge of procurement for Print
• Do you have an IT supplier of hardware e.g. Laptops / Desktops and associated peripherals that covers all schools under the MAT? If so,
o Who is the current provider?
o When does their contract end?
o How many laptops and desktops are in your estate?
o Who is the named person and their role in your organisation in charge of procurement for IT
• Do you currently use a Public Sector Framework for IT and MFD / Printer procurement? If so, which ones do you currently use?

I would like the above information to be provided to me as an electronic copy. If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist requesters.

If any of this information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary.

I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this letter. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

Caroline Thorpe
