We are still working hard to help Schools and Multi Academy Trusts save money and would like your help.
Did you know that 97% of the 800+ schools that we have worked with were overpaying for their telecoms and broadband services, in most cases without them being aware. Collectively we have helped these schools to save in excess of £6m. This is a staggering statistic but we know that School Business Leaders have multiple hats to wear and are experts at dealing with many different tasks at the same time to ensure their schools run smoothly so they often lack the time and the knowledge that is necessary when it comes to procuring technology.
Factors such as the BT Network Switch Off and the DfE’s latest guidelines for broadband in schools are going to put on further pressures and place schools in a vulnerable position over the next couple of years, as phone lines, phone systems and broadband lines will need to be replaced or upgraded. This falls at a time when schools budgets have been hit hard.
Our mission is to ensure that Schools procure the best fit products and services at the best possible prices so that your valuable funds can be spent on teaching and learning, to improve the life chances of our children.
Our Health Check Audit service can help you identify areas where you can save money, improve communications, prepare for the BT Network Switch Off and identify what actions you need to take to comply with the DfE’s latest broadband standards. In addition to our Audit service, we also help schools to run phone system and broadband procurement projects, we handle the entire project for you, ensuring that you procure the right solution from a reputable company at the best possible price. I should stress at this stage that we only act in an advisory capacity to ensure schools are making the right decisions, we do not sell any telecoms or broadband products.
This month we are out and about and will be attending the LASBM (Lancashire Association of School Business Mangers) Conference on Wednesday 14th June, Schools North East SBM Conference on Thursday 15th June and the SASBM (Stockport Association of School Business Managers) Conference on the 21st June 2023. Please come and see us to chat about how we can help if you are attending one of these events.
