“UK Government
will consider OSS
solutions alongside
proprietary ones in
IT procurements.
Contracts will be
awarded on a
value for money
basis.”
EDM
That this House congratulates the Open
University and other schools, colleges and
universities for utilising free and open source
software to deliver cost-effective educational
benefit not just for their own institutions but
also the wider community; and expresses
concern that Becta and the Department for
Education and Skills, through the use of
outdated purchasing frameworks, are
effectively denying schools the option of
benefiting from both free and open source
software and the value and experience small
and medium ICT companies could bring to the
schools market.

“Becta wishes to ensure that schools are
aware of and can access the wide variety
of open source software in the
marketplace. To achieve this it recognises
that they must be supported in its
awareness, adoption, deployment, use
and ongoing development.”

EDM That this House congratulates the Open University and other schools, colleges and universities for utilising free and open source software to deliver cost-effective educational benefit not just for their own institutions but also the wider community; and expresses concern that Becta and the Department for Education and Skills, through the use of outdated purchasing frameworks, are effectively denying schools the option of benefiting from both free and open source software and the value and experience small and medium ICT companies could bring to the schools market.
