Make the most of our Education Technology framework
About the Framework
We know that working within an educational establishment means that time is precious and efficiency is key, which is why we have designed our Education Technology Framework (RM6103) with you in mind.
Working in partnership with the Department for Education, we have created a single route to market for a broad range of technology services and equipment. Whether you’re looking for a one-off purchase, new hardware or broadband upgrades you’ll find it all, and much more, within this framework.
Our aim is to provide you with value for money, competitive pricing and fantastic suppliers to help you create a smooth running, modern learning environment.
What is available?
To keep it simple, we have split the framework in to five sections (also known as Lots).
Lot 1 - ICT Solutions
Provides you with the capability to purchase ICT goods or services for your specific needs.
You might need this if you have a new classroom or office being built that requires the installation of ICT equipment.
Lot 2 – Broadband Fibre Infrastructure
Provides you with the design and installation of broadband fibre infrastructure.
You might need this if you are looking for an engineer to install fibre connectivity within your workplace.
Lot 3 – Broadband Services
Provides you with broadband connectivity services, including support and maintenance.
You might need this if you want to upgrade your office or school broadband as you are finding your existing connection too slow.
Lot 4 – Hardware
Provides you with hardware, networking elements (e.g. cables or switches), peripherals (e.g. printers or mice) and software.
You might need this if you are looking for 20 new laptops with a charging trolley for your school or workplace.
Lot 5 – Audio Visual
Provides you with sound and/or visual equipment for your setting, including installation.
You might need this if you are looking for a new interactive whiteboard and short through projector.
You’ll find a complete overview of our framework in this easy-to-watch, short video.
