When purchasing ICT, there are multiple factors for schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) to consider and purchasing regulations they must adhere to. The 2023 Academy Trust Handbook states that:
"academy trusts must be able to show that public funds have been used as intended by Parliament," and that spending "represents value for money."
Our ICT consultants utilise their senior leadership in education experience to find the right solution that exactly matches your requirements.
