Like every educational professional you’re juggling a dozen things already, and procurement’s another job on the list.
And it’s not just the paperwork. It’s the emails. The quotes. The chasing. The supplier searches. The “have we done this properly?” worry in the back of your mind.
We get it. It’s a lot to manage!
That’s exactly why Everything ICT exists: to make compliant procurement much more manageable for school leaders who don’t have time to wade through red tape.

🟦 We’re pre-approved
We’re a DfE-approved framework, so you can pick from a wide range of suppliers without needing to run a full tender. No getting stuck in compliance red tape.
🟦 We do the searching for you
Tell us what you need e.g. a new broadband provider, classroom devices, a managed print service, and so on, and we’ll help shortlist the right suppliers for you.
🟦 We’re hands-on
Need help writing your requirements or specification? Want advice on what’s “normal” pricing for the thing you’re buying? Our team works with hundreds of schools and trusts every month, and we’ll guide you step by step (or just be a sounding board when you need it).
🟦 We’re quicker
Everything ICT’s framework cuts down the time you’d usually spend running a procurement. We’ve seen Schools and MATs save weeks of admin and paperwork just by using our process.
🟦 We’re service-first
You won’t get bounced around departments or lost in a generic enquiry inbox. You’ll get a named Account person and real advice borne from experience.
Don’t just take our word for it
“The suppliers we engaged via the framework were professional and responsive, lead times and pricing were transparent, and the equipment was delivered on schedule and as specified. Using Everything ICT has saved us both time and effort compared with running our own full procurement, while giving us confidence that we are securing good value for money for our schools.“
