Procurement and Contracts
With in-house Procurement expertise we support all our schools with any tendering of spend which is above the threshold of the Public Contracts Regulations (2015) soon to be replaced by the Procurement Act.
We engage schools and guide them through the tender process. As a Trust team we also support with the contract and supplier management of the Trust-wide suppliers e.g. Primary catering, Grounds Maintenance, Cleaning, MIS, Recruitment Agencies, IT and Telephony. We proactively seek to engage with the supplier market to secure Multi-Academy Trust discount and identify new suppliers for Trust schools.
