How Do We Support?

‘Facilities’ is a broad term – groundskeeping, IT, cleaning and much more. Many schools aren’t getting the best deals – we want to change this.

We’ll audit your existing facilities, ensuring that you’re getting the best price underpinned with the best quality.

Why Partner with Procure?

Our main goal is to ensure you’re getting value for money. We help schools to cut costs, not quality, allowing them to reinvest in what matters most: their students.

Quality Audits

In many schools, headteachers and SBMs wear many hats, and are often involved heavily in ensuring that quality of all suppliers is maintained.

This eats significantly into your time on a weekly basis, taking you away from other equally important duties.

That’s why we provide comprehensive quality audits. We’ll provide an objective view on what’s going well with your existing suppliers, and what needs to be improved, allowing you to make informed decisions on what, if anything, needs to change.

An FM audit is a comprehensive review of the services keeping your school operational, including groundskeeping, cleaning, maintenance and more. We assess both quality and cost, identifying where you’re getting value and where improvements can be made.

Yes. Our review and audit service applies whether your facilities management is handled internally, through external suppliers, or a combination of both.

We analyse your current FM expenditure in detail, benchmark it against comparable schools across the UK, identify opportunities to save and support you in renegotiating supplier contracts for better pricing.

We provide an objective assessment of how your existing suppliers are performing, what’s going well and what needs to improve, giving you the insight needed to make informed decisions about any changes required.

Every recommendation is based on data and feedback gathered specifically from your school or trust. We never apply a generic approach and our findings are always grounded in your specific context.
