The hat you wear most of the time is that of a Business Manager. Occasionally you’re asked to wear the hat of the person responsible for purchasing. That one comes with some pressure. Pressure because the eyes of the school’s leadership are on you, or to be more precise, on the budget. But also pressure because procurement is not your thing, even though it’s now your job.
Nobody’s pretending public sector procurement isn’t a complex process. It’s not just the amount of time it takes. Nor the mountains of paperwork. Nor even the vast selection of suppliers to choose from.
It’s the fear of missing something which could result in you buying the wrong product, or buying the right product in the wrong way. It’s the cold unhelpful portal experience. It’s people buying things in a hurry from their favourite supplier, without telling you. Is this you?
Welcome to Everything ICT, a compliant ICT Framework that smart trusts use to purchase the right ICT products in the right way.
A solution on speed dial. You’re a small trust. Too small to justify a full time Purchasing Manager, but not so small that you don’t need to buy things. And just like that, you have a new role to go with your old role. But you don’t have time to read through chapters of procurement rules or research hundreds of suppliers.
Now you don’t need to. Everything ICT is a DfE recommended, fully compliant procurement framework that offers small trusts, like yours, easy access to a wide range of ICT suppliers without a portal anywhere in sight.
Our super power is the support you get from our team (many of whom have worked in education) who are waiting on speed dial, ready to take the problem off your plate, and lead you through the purchasing maze. Our framework offers a range of ways to buy, so that everything is purchased compliantly, from pre-approved suppliers.
In the last [X] years we have helped [x NUMBER] of schools and trusts to purchase [£XX NUMBER] worth of ICT equipment and services, and we are ready to go to work for you.
