About Us

Who we are

Our mission is to help schools and MATs save as much money as possible when procuring vital services, so that you can spend more money on the precious resources for the classroom.

Central to the way we work are the following values:

  • Committed; we are committed to making sure our clients procure high-quality services at the best price, tailored to their needs and requirements.
  • Educators; we are here to answer all your questions, help you through your concerns and support the development of the school business profession.
  • Champions; we work closely with our clients to help them gain more experience and knowledge on the procurement process.
  • Quality; we strive for quality in every aspect of our work. From the tenders we produce to the service our client receives.
  • Passionate; we run our own trust of eight schools. We are part of the sector and not just a company that services it. Our mission is aligned with our client’s needs.

Why are we different?

We are specialists in the education procurement arena.

We are CIPS accredited public sector procurement professionals.

We are experts in tailoring our service to perfectly fit your requirements.

We are passionate about driving innovation and delivering positive change within the education sector.

We give back by volunteering our time and sharing our insights from our own multi-academy trust – eight excellent schools servicing their diverse communities.

Bellevue Place Education Trust
Learn, Enjoy, Succeed

Our multi-academy trust successfully opened seven new primary schools to support communities with excellent education across London and Maidenhead.

Our vision is for all pupils and staff to enjoy a broad and enriched learning experience, enabling them to achieve far greater individual success than they might previously have thought possible. All of our schools are focused on delivering a high-quality provision in areas where there is a shortage of primary school places.

An eighth school joined our Trust at the end of 2019.
