Why more schools are turning to School Supplier

Our customers are passionate about achieving best value and quality assurance for their school. Whether it be for book vending machines, musical instruments, SEN support and everything in between including padlocks and staff ID badges!
So, what makes School Supplier different to any other provider or procurement partner? First and foremost, we are extremely passionate about ensuring schools have access to the best value possible and appreciate business and finance managers work in extremely busy environments and simply do not have the time to invest in research and ‘shopping around’ but need a partner they can also trust. This is where we differ, if unable to provide what you are looking for better than anyone else, we not only tell you but point you in the right direction!
Together, schools have immense buying power, we want to use this and purchase direct from manufacturers where possible on your behalf or develop solutions in house using our talented team to ensure the product is not only fit for purpose but is the best possible value.
Shortening the supply chain is crucial. Every link in the chain results in a multiplication of the cost. This is how we are able to be so competitive and, in some instance, pricing can appear ‘to good to be true’.
For example, if developing a visitor management system. A company may design/develop software, either using their own coders or in most instances employ technicians in different countries to achieve savings. This system is then distributed through ‘resellers’ who also have their own operating costs. To achieve increased sales the resellers will then also apply an additional commission to IT providers driving the cost up further. The utilized hardware will also undertake a journey through approved distributors and resellers with price increases at every link in the chain.
School Supplier have developed and support the software entirely in house and purchase commercial grade hardware direct from the manufacturer.
The best phone calls or emails we receive are “can you provide or supply…..”. This tells us that a) We have provided a good service for them in the past and b) We are trusted to procure on their behalf and our immensely valued customers also value the service we provide.
