Get help buying for schools is here to support schools and trusts to buy everything they need to operate, from cleaning and catering, ICT and utilities, to transport and professional services.
Our aim is to support you to get good value for money, save time and have peace of mind.
Our procurement experts offer different levels of service and support depending on your school or trust’s needs and level of confidence.
We are totally impartial – there are no payments or commissions from our suppliers. Our only incentive is to get the most appropriate solution for you.
We understand that not all schools or trusts currently employ a procurement specialist, and that buying is often undertaken by someone who is wearing many hats. We know that buying high cost and high risk goods and services is a complex and resource intensive process. We’re here to help!
Find out what some of the school business professionals who have used the service have to say in our video and blog posts.
