Recognising the substantial saving that collective purchase brings, the Local Authority would like to offer Primary Academy/Free Schools that wish to use FFT Aspire in 2017-18 the opportunity to purchase a subscription at a discounted rate through the Local
Authority.
The cost of purchasing a 2017-18 FFT Aspire subscription for the Primary phase through the Local Authority is charged at £0.55 per pupil (based on the Autumn school census NOR). Purchasing an FFT Aspire subscription via the Local Authority represents a
saving of approximately 45% compared to purchasing directly with FFT.
Primary Academies/Free Schools that wish to purchase via the Local Authority must confirm by email to
IMT-Traded@bradford.gov.uk by Friday 31 March 2017. Primary Academies/Free Schools that do not confirm that they wish to purchase an FFT Aspire licence through the Local Authority, but still wish to access
FFT Aspire after 1 April 2017, will need to purchase their licence directly from FFT at a substantially higher cost.
All LA maintained Primary Schools will automatically continue to be able to access FFT Aspire after 1 April 2017, therefore no further action is required by these schools.
