Make procurement decisions which are good for the environment and your community.
Getting the best deal for your school is not only about cost savings, it's also about making the right decisions. The right decisions for your school, the right decisions for the environment and the right decisions for your local community.
In saving your school money, we never lose sight of the opportunities available to us to support your local community. For example, if you currently utilise the services of a local gardener to manage your outdoor areas, we will look to renegotiate your contract or to generate a group buying discount (by involving other schools in your area), to enable you to continue using the same, proven supplier - but at a lower cost and with an improved Service Level Agreement. We're focused on reducing your costs, but not at the expense of quality or your local community.
Buying decisions that you make today directly affect tomorrow. Because of this belief we do what we can to make 'green' procurement decisions. We carefully study the credentials of the suppliers we work with, placing an emphasis on their sustainability policies. We also pride ourselves on our ability to give our members proven advice on how they can save money while reducing their energy, water and paper consumption.
There's no substitute for reducing consumption, be it energy, paper or water! Our team is on hand to offer advice on how your school can start making consumption savings while we're behind the scenes negotiating cost savings. By working in partnership in this manner we're able to help you to secure not only a more sustainable school but also one that spends less.
