Deal to help schools save cash on computer equipment
DfE offers schools the chance to save on tablets, laptops and desktop devices.
The second in a series of bulk buying deals (sometimes referred to as ‘aggregated deals’) for schools considering buying new tablets, laptops or desktop devices has now started. Schools could save thousands of pounds by using a deal developed by DfE and Crown Commercial Services (CCS).
To take part, schools will need to submit their requirements for new devices to CCS at: [email protected] by 6 October 2017. A video explains the process in more detail.
CCS will then work with suppliers to get the best price and notify schools after they award the contract on 10 November 2017. Schools will be able to place their orders for delivery in summer and arrange payment at the agreed price.
We have scheduled future buying opportunities for spring 2018 and we will announce the actual dates later.
