Welcome to HES - Dedicated to education

The Brokerage Service is designed to offer schools and settings the opportunity to choose from multiple suppliers across a broad range of service categories which helps to drive down cost and raise quality of service.

Benefits of subscribing to the service:

• Easy access to wide range of suppliers across multiple product/service categories
• Reduced administrative burden in saving you both time and cost used up in comparing suppliers and/or running a full procurement procedure on your own
• Reduced spend on products and services due to aggregation of demand across schools thereby allowing us negotiate more attractive concessions from suppliers
• Due to our buying power, suppliers usually commit to keeping prices fixed for up to 3 years thereby giving you price stability and ability to forward plan your budget commitments
• Peace of mind in knowing that you will be compliant in your purchasing and/or contract letting because we have tendered all our services through a robust National and OJEU process
• Your rights as buyers are further protected by the overarching Brokerage Master Agreement signed by all suppliers
• Rolling programme of tenders ensures that schools will always have access to competitive and market tested suppliers
