What the business rationale was for abandoning the Glow replacement procurement exercise.

The development of Glow is based on engagement with the education community to establish a joint future vision for Glow.
The decision to stop the procured solution for the next Glow was based on ensuring best value for money and educational outcomes from our spending on ICT in education. Investing in the glue to bind together tools and resources that are readily available on the web will ensure that Glow becomes more dynamic and flexible and keeps pace with rapidly evolving developments in ICT.
Our plans for Glow and our objectives for ICT in Education will enable us to focus our approach and invest in a way that delivers outcomes that matter for Scotland’s children and young people.
