Connected Across the Sector

We have active relationships with school business leader groups, school support organisations and Local Authorities across the UK. When a recommendation comes through one of those networks, it's usually because someone's seen the results first-hand.

The Bigger Picture

Supporting Every Type of Education Setting

Nurseries, primary schools, secondary schools, special schools, and independent schools all face different technology challenges. Different structures, different priorities, different levels of IT support — but the same need for reliable, cost-effective, and future-ready technology.

We work comfortably across all types of education settings. Whether we're carrying out a technology audit, supporting a procurement project, or helping shape a longer-term digital strategy, we adapt to the structure and requirements already in place.

Some schools are managing complex infrastructures, cloud environments, and multiple suppliers. Others need clearer direction, stronger oversight, or additional support capacity. We understand those differences and provide practical, impartial advice that can be clearly presented to leadership teams, governors, and trustees when decisions need to be made.

Trusts & Central Teams

Multi-Academy Trusts

Working with a MAT is a different type of engagement. Projects are typically larger, involve more stakeholders, and require greater levels of governance, planning, and compliance.

We are experienced in operating within that environment. Our typical MAT contacts include COOs, CFOs, IT Directors, and trust-level procurement managers. We understand how decisions are made at trust level and how to produce the documentation, reporting, and procurement processes needed to support effective governance.

For many trusts, centralising contracts across multiple schools can deliver significant financial and operational benefits. We help identify where those opportunities exist, build a clear project plan, and manage procurements in line with current UK procurement regulations and best practice.

We currently support over 80 MATs across England, ranging from small two-school trusts to large multi-site organisations with dozens of academies.

Our Networks

Connected Across the Education Sector

A large part of the trust schools place in us comes through recommendation. School business managers talk to each other. They share what's worked at local SBM forums, regional networks and national events. When someone has saved thousands on their phone system or finally got their broadband procurement sorted, they tend to tell their colleagues.

We have well-established relationships with school business leader groups across the UK, partnerships with organisations that support schools, and connections with a number of Local Authorities. We attend and present at education events, and we're well known within the networks where school decision-makers spend their time.

Those relationships matter because they're built on results. The schools in our network have seen what independent advice looks like in practice, and they recommend us because it worked.

TGE Solutions are always very friendly and professional; all the way through the process of writing a detailed tender on our behalf, to overseeing the installation of a full and modern new phone system. We are really glad we decided to work with Phil and the team, we never had any problems at all and everything was explained and documented clearly. We used to get frustrated with our old phones and phone lines but now everything has been upgraded, updated and our costs have been reduced. Thanks TGE Solutions!

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Who in a school usually gets in touch with you?
Most of the time, it’s the school business manager. They’re the ones managing the contracts, the budgets and the day-to-day operational decisions. In secondary schools, it’s sometimes the IT manager or a senior leader. In Multi-Academy Trusts, we typically work with the COO, CFO or a central IT lead. Whoever you are, if technology decisions are part of your role, we’re probably the right people to speak to.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?

We work with schools across England primarily, which is where DfE standards and the relevant procurement legislation applies. If you’re outside England and want to know whether we can help with your situation, just get in touch and we’ll be straightforward with you about what we can offer.

How do schools usually find you?
Most commonly through recommendation. A school business manager mentions us at a local forum. A trust that’s worked with us refers a contact. We also present at education events and work through regional SBM networks and school support organisations. If you’ve been pointed in our direction, there’s usually a good reason for it.
