What has changed?
In April 2022, ESS, the providers of SIMS, changed the way in which Local Authority maintained schools contracted with them for the purchase of their SIMS software. All schools entered into a new 3 year direct contract with ESS, rather than contracting for their SIMS licence through their Local Authority.
What does this mean?
Local Authorities no longer make the decision on where schools must buy their SIMS Support. The power is back in your hands to undertake best value and enter into contracts with any ESS Approved SIMS Support Unit. If you have been experiencing long waiting times to get advice or perhaps haven’t been satisfied with the advice provided, or even just want to ensure you are achieving best value for money, then now may be the time to review your provider and let us show you that things can be very different!
