Certain recent events have demonstrated how specifying and purchasing products for schools can be a minefield, particularly in the absence of specialist purchasing or supply chain expertise.
I’ve just started a LinkedIn group on the topic of school IT procurement that may be of interest – it aims to raise awareness of procurement best practice:

Hopefully it will help ensure you avoid some common pitfalls whilst adhering to the core principles of public procurement.
Please join and feel free to share your experience and views or pose questions to the community.
Thanks!
