St Herbert’s Church of England Primary & Nursery School

Anne Downie

School Business Manager - St Herbert’s Church of England Primary & Nursery School

Our School has been working with ‘System IT’ for Procurement Services since October 2011. This is only a relatively short time but I have found it invaluable. The expertise that they have in knowing the market place and being able to find us comparison quotes for services that would take me considerable time to source is such a time saver. ‘Best Value’ is paramount to schools and System IT certainly helps achieve this.

I can whole heartedly say that buying into this contract is the best move we have made. I look forward to a long and successful relationship with System IT.

Nya Weatherill

Schools Finance Manager - Yewdale Primary School

As a busy primary school, with 270 children on role, it is not always an easy, and can be very time consuming to find the best value for money.

We bought into the System IT procurement service in June last year and have saved the cost of the service and more. We found the Health Check very useful and have since changed various suppliers, or have negotiated prices with existing contracts.

This service is recommended and of definitive value for money.

Norman Street Primary School

Nick Page

Head Teacher - Norman Street Primary School

We are a primary school with 307 children on roll.

Being a new head, I had a lot of information to decipher and any help to assist in making this an easier process was welcomed as the inference of saving money.

We have made significant savings using System IT and continue to do so. We have changed various suppliers for example, paper, Boiler Servicing, Water Provision, Fire Assessments, Electrical Testing and are in the process of giving notice to others including Waste Collection.

This service is recommended and of definitive value for money.

Margaret Maxfield

School Business Manager - Scotby Church of England Primary School

This is our first year using System IT Ltd for our procurement and contract management. To date we have had an excellent service and have achieved significant savings. We are a chequebook school and do not have a caretaker so apart from the financial savings, we benefit from:-

  • Professional expertise in procurement.
  • Comprehensive advice across a range of issues relating to contracts.
  • Significant admin time saved through the management of our maintenance contracts.
  • Take up of this service helps demonstrate our commitment to 'Value for Money'

In our dealings with the company we have found the staff to be helpful, friendly and professional. Their response to requests for advice/information has been prompt and in all cases the result has been positive

 

 
Hensingham Primary School

Nick Fish

Head Teacher - Hensingham Primary School

System I.T. took over our ICT maintenance and support contract in April 2011. The price of the contract was very fair and the changeover was handled professionally and efficiently. The on-going support for any hardware or software issues has been excellent, with everything being sorted incredibly quickly-this has been done either remotely or on site. New hardware and software has been sourced for us at a competitive price and installed rapidly.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending System I.T. to other schools for ICT support.

System I.T.'s procurement service is excellent value for money. Obviously, some schools will save more money than others - my school has saved thousands of pounds by changing contracts and suppliers for everything from grounds maintenance to photocopier paper! But it's not just about saving money- the exemplary support via email and telephone saves hours of time searching for supplies and services. Cheapest is not always best value, so System I.T. works tirelessly to use suppliers who offer the best quality supplies and services at the most reasonable cost. As part of the service, all the school's contracts and suppliers are entered onto a single spreadsheet for ease of reference and to keep track of renewal dates etc. An outstanding service which I wholeheartedly recommend!

Alison Charlesworth

Head Teacher

The service I have received from System It for both computer maintenance and procurement has been professional and exemplary. This is our second year for computer maintenance; problems are logged and dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our dedicated engineer Peter shows care and understanding of our needs resulting in an excellent service.

Adrienne and Trish working on procurement have already helped the school to make significant savings. Their strengths are in their experiences of schools and how they operate and their knowledge of procurement. I would recommend these services

Cockermouth School

Dawn Boyes

Business Manager

As a large secondary school, best value has always been at the forefront of our procurement strategy. When the procurement service was offered by System IT Ltd I saw this as an ideal opportunity to further this and we have not been disappointed.

In the first year we have made savings of nearly £4000. As well saving money we have had a full audit of our provisions and contracts so I know exactly when everything is up for renewal and renegotiation. This service has given me peace of mind, helps us meet the SFVS and reduces the amount of time I spend talking to suppliers.

Broughton Moor Primary

Peter Dawson

Head Teacher - Broughton Moor Primary School

We are a small primary school in West Cumbria and best value has to be our priority.

Being a new head I was wary of any system that claimed to save money for our school. I have now realised that System IT works hard to provide an efficient and manageable service and is saving our school money
We have made savings already – for example procuring paper and providing a photocopier service. Quotes are always provided with any procurement proposals and we have found them to be very competitive, saving us much needed money.

System IT has taken some of the workload off me and freed administrative time from myself and my staff. I would recommend the service provided by System IT
