About us
Our Mission
Our Story
Education Buying was founded in 2020, emerging from 2buy2, to address the unique needs of the education sector.
The founders noticed inefficiencies in school procurement processes, recognised the potential for collective savings and the importance of ethical and socially responsible procurement, so Education Buying was born.
Our Vision
In the next 5 to 10 years, Education Buying aspires to be the leading procurement service provider for the education sector across the UK. We plan to achieve this through:
Expansion and Reach
Extending our services to more schools and educational establishments.
Innovation in Procurement
Leveraging technology to develop advanced tools and platforms that make procurement more efficient.
Sustainability and Social Value
Enhancing our focus on sustainable procurement and increasing social value in our contracts.
Financial Impact
Achieving £50 million in savings for the education sector by 2025, and £100 million by 2030.
Building Partnerships
Strengthening collaborations with like-minded partners and local suppliers.
By focusing on these areas, we envision becoming a cornerstone of the education sector’s procurement landscape, known for our ethical practices, social value, and significant cost savings. Our long-term vision is to create a procurement ecosystem where every school can access high-quality, cost-effective, and ethically sourced goods and services.
