England’s largest academy trust United Learning has been refused permission to appeal in a court battle over a £2 million management information system (MIS) deal.
Earlier this year, Mr Justice Waksman found Bromcom should have been awarded the contract for 57 of United Learning’s schools instead of Arbor.
He said there was a “failure to treat the bidders equally” and “manifest error” because it did not take a particular step to “‘neutralise’ Arbor’s inherent advantage as incumbent provider” to 15 other United Learning schools.
He said he would be awarding damages – with the sums yet to be determined.
