We are aware that Bromcom has filed a legal claim against Arbor, relating to the MIS tender process run by United Learning back in 2019. In the claim, Bromcom have named United Learning alongside 26 other MATs that they allege they should have subsequently won. We know news like this can sound alarming, so we wanted to publish a short statement in response here to reassure the schools, MATs and LAs we work with.
We strongly deny all of the allegations made by Bromcom, which we believe to be entirely without merit. We are profitable, have a multiple of the capital required to cover the case and look forward to being vindicated in court.
In the meantime, we will continue to focus our time and energy on building market-leading products, supporting the 9,000 schools who have chosen Arbor, and investing in world-class product innovation.
