Lot 1: Havering Education Services (HES) established a Brokerage Service in 2013 as a dedicated collaborative procurement support mechanism for schools and settings, which enables them to access a wide range of suppliers of goods and services that have been selected through a compliant procurement route and who demonstrably deliver value for money and high-quality products and services to schools and settings. The Brokerage Service has over the years developed to encompass a wide range of competitive multi-supplier procurement frameworks with a cumulative total transaction value to date of circa £10m. Starting in 2022, under a partnership model, Hornchurch Academy Trust, a Multi Academy Trust based in Havering assumed the role of ‘Contracting Authority’ under which umbrella the HES brokerage frameworks will be managed, and procurement activities conducted.This requirement is for a new multi supplier framework agreement for the provision of educational supplies. This is expected to be used primarily by education establishments in Havering which are listed in Attachment 1 Current Brokerage School List (subject to change) to be able to draw upon the services agreed and stipulated. It is envisaged that other neighbouring Education Establishments outside of Havering, some of whom are currently buying into the Havering Education Brokerage Service as shown in Attachment 1 Current Brokerage School List, as well as other schools that may buy in at a later or future time, may also use the framework.
