MOOSE JAW — Holy Trinity Catholic School Division plans to lease most of its classroom-focused technology next year, while five companies will be supplying most of the equipment.
The division issued a request for proposals (RFP) this spring seeking support for its technology purchase requirements for the 2025-26, a report presented during the June board meeting showed.
Included in the RFP were pricing requests for 450 Chromebooks, eight projectors, 12 desktop computers, 61 laptops, 30 Wi-Fi access points, five data switches, one voice router and 60 phones with wall mounts. Except for the phones, the division plans to lease all its new technological acquisitions next year.
Eleven companies responded to the RFP, with the highest bid 小蓝视频 $470,070, but the division awarded components of the RFP to five companies for a total value of $283,837, the report said. The document noted that the RFP process was valuable in acquiring the technology for less money.
The document added that it will cost Holy Trinity roughly $76,000 annually to lease the equipment, but the 2025-26 budget will be able to accommodate it.
The next Holy Trinity board meeting is Monday, Aug. 18.
