Case Studies

Education Buying has helped hundreds of schools save time and money through our buying and bespoke consultancy solutions. Read through our case studies and see how we have schools and MATs across the UK.

RNN Group

Client Name: RNN Group

After a successful spend analysis conducted by Education Buying for RNN Group, they were keen to continue working with our experts as they required further procurement support and capacity due to the College having an in-house procurement team that was stretched thin across many projects.

Djanogly Learning Trust

Client Name: Djanogly Learning Trust

To combat the rising prices of school supplies, Education Buying has created a School Supplies Framework Agreement, featuring four excellent suppliers, providing everyday items needed in a classroom, staff room and school office setting.

Djanogly Learning Trust asked us to run a “cost challenge” based on their previous spend to determine the value of savings that could be achieved from our negotiated rates of core items.

We have price checked the new Education Buying School Supplies Framework Agreement to ensure it provides great value for money on all school essentials.

This culminated in a new catering contract that focused heavily on fantastic social value outcomes for the school.
