Tips for winning Education contracts

1

Target multi-academy trusts

MATs procure centrally for multiple schools. Winning a MAT contract can give you access to dozens of schools simultaneously.

2

OJEU thresholds for universities

Universities are contracting authorities. Contracts above the relevant threshold must be advertised on Find a Tender Service.

3

Use JISC and Crescent frameworks

Education-specific frameworks like JISC (IT) and various regional frameworks are commonly used. Getting on these frameworks can generate business without competitive tender.
