“I can understand why some schools are afraid of these processes, but the Hub’s team helped us a lot with their down-to-earth, professional approach.”

“I have to say that the paperwork and analysis of the bids that we received was amazing. None of us would ever have had the time to put together such a comprehensive list of reports and supporting information which is factual and evidence based. Also we all felt that, from a governing body point of view, the amount of supportive data has allowed us to all be confident that we are making an informed decision based on a totally transparent and fair process, which is brilliant.”

“The Hub provided a comprehensive free service for our grounds maintenance contract. From the structured tender pack, with robust evaluation criteria, to the questions to ask, we felt supported at all stages.”

“Without your assistance I would never have been able to obtain the price I did on ICT hardware equipment, so glad I used Schools’ Buying Hub! Made my life so much easier!”

“The Schools’ Buying Hub South West supported us with tenders for an ICT managed service and cleaning.  The support provided was first class.  They helped reduce my workload by managing the process, gave me confidence we were meeting our legal requirements, and adapted the format when site visits were not allowed.  All at no cost.  I am happy to recommend the Hub to other schools and will be using its services again.”
