Welcome to Schools’ Buying Club
Schools’ Buying Club was established to help schools, academies and MATs save time and money through the procurement process. Education is our passion; we run our own Multi-Academy Trust, and know that every penny that we help you save, means that pupils get a better deal in the classroom. We have saved millions of pounds to date, and we know it makes a real difference when budgets are tight.
Our multi award-winning, end-to-end procurement tendering service is focused on letting new contracts across a range of categories including catering, cleaning, ICT managed services, MFDs and managed print, FM and building services, audit, HR and payroll, amongst others. We run the entire procurement process, stimulating interest from the supply market to create competition and keen pricing. We develop the specification, run the tender process through our online portal, evaluate the bids and provide you with our thorough assessment. Our service is compliant and highly effective, providing confidence to school leaders and their governors and trustees.

Message from Claire Delaney, Managing Director of Schools’ Buying Club
Schools’ Buying Club was created to provide schools with exceptional procurement support. In the daily life of a school, it is unrealistic to expect school business professionals to understand not only the minute details of everything that needs to be purchased, but the most effective way of purchasing it.
That’s why we are here for schools and MATs across the country. We run our own Trust, so we service our clients from the perspective of being part of the education sector and not just a company that serves it. This makes us incredibly proud.
We go that little bit further; think that little bit harder
We are helping more and more schools everyday – here’s what our clients have to say:
