Our Services
Led by Schools for Schools, making procurement easy to implement
Our services
Identifying opportunities
Our first step is to get to know you, your current position, challenges and objectives. We’ll align our activity with your needs, identifying any and all opportunities to maximise savings and improve efficiencies
Stakeholder engagement
By engaging with your stakeholders from the outset, we can help you set and manage expectations and increase the visibility, understanding and importance of procurement activity
Commercial strategy development and programme planning
We will work with you to define and develop a buying strategy that addresses your current needs and anticipates longer term requirements
Sector expertise
Because our team blends hands-on educational experience with specialist procurement expertise our knowledge base and networks are second to none
Access existing, niche and new suppliers
To ensure you get the right services at the right price, we’ll establish easily accessible tender opportunities to attract multiple suppliers and stimulate competition
Tender management
We manage the entire tender process, this includes creating the specification, managing pre-qualification and invitation to tender phases, evaluating responses and awarding the contract. All you have to do is tell us what you need
Using the landscape
We know what frameworks are out there and we never duplicate anything. We simply find the best solution for you, based on your needs, timescales and budget
Contract management
We will manage, execute and analyse the performance of all your contracts throughout the contact period. This includes establishing KPIs, reviewing the performance of the contract against expectations and completing regular compliance checks. When any contract is up for renewal you will have a suitable benchmark and baseline to start from
Only pay for what you use
Because our services are fully flexible and tailored to your precise needs, you only ever pay for those parts of the service you use.
