Churchmarketplace

Empowering Catholic Communities through strategic procurement

At Education Buying, we are proud to partner with Churchmarketplace to enhance the procurement process for Catholic educational establishments. Together, we leverage the collective purchasing power of the Catholic Church to drive positive, ethical change across the supply chain.

Our collaboration with Churchmarketplace is dedicated to providing procurement solutions that are not only strategic and compliant but also uphold the values of ethical and environmentally responsible practices. Our combined efforts ensure that every procurement decision supports the mission and values of the Church.

Churchmarketplace integrates Catholic Social Teaching into every aspect of their processes, ensuring fairness and respect throughout the supply chain.

Environmental stewardship is at the heart of what they do, with a focus on reducing our ecological footprint while meeting Catholic schools' procurement needs. Their services include simplified procurement processes designed to save time and resources, as well as expert guidance to help you navigate procurement challenges with confidence.

Umbrella Group

Education Buying takes pride in its foundational role within the Umbrella Group—an alliance of like-minded enterprises dedicated to offering extensive support for schools and multi-academy trusts. Our collective proficiency extends across various critical domains, encompassing legal counsel, HR expertise, strategic procurement, funding and Cif bids, Building Condition Surveys, project management, expansion initiatives, free school bids, and adept services in marketing and recruitment.

The inception of Umbrella was prompted by the absence of a singular resource for schools to access comprehensive support. Serving as an all-encompassing hub for educational services, Umbrella consolidates a range of essential offerings. With a unified mission to guide educational establishments through the ever-evolving landscape, our member organisations collaborate to furnish schools and trusts with the complete spectrum of resources necessary for delivering an exceptional education to their students.
