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.

Client Name: Skinners Academies Trust

Four schools within Skinners’ Academies Trust (a six school MAT), needed to run a tender for their cleaning services, ensuring compliance, best value and a smooth process. They chose Education Buying’s Cleaning Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to help them secure a supplier who could deliver high standards and value for money.

Client Name: Lumen Learning Trust

Lumen Learning Trust, comprising five primary schools, partnered with Education Buying to run a competitive procurement process for cleaning services using our Cleaning Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). Our team provided expert guidance and facilitated a fully compliant process, helping the Trust to appoint a supplier that could deliver high-quality, consistent cleaning across all schools. 

Client Name: John Ball Primary School

John Ball Primary School partnered with Education Buying to manage their catering tender using the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and Supported Self-Serve service. This collaboration aimed to simplify the tendering process and ensure a compliant, cost-effective and high-quality catering contract.

Client Name: St Bartholomew’s CE Multi Academy Trust

St Bartholomew’s CE Multi Academy Trust approached Education Buying (part of 2buy2) to streamline their energy procurement processes. With the responsibility of managing their energy contract, transitioning from Local Authorities to the Trust, the goal was to bring all contracts under one supplier, ensuring operational efficiency and cost savings.

Client Name: Cumbria Academy of Autism

In this case study, we delve into a recent tender for Cumbria Academy of Autism's cleaning services procurement, where our team collaborated closely with the school's stakeholders to streamline the process effectively.

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.
