Staying Compliant Whilst Scaling and Shaping for Growth
Constellia
Enabling organisations to buy professional services, goods and works through our Neutral Vendor model
As Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) evolve, the transition to centralising contracts and services can often be daunting, especially when scaling and shaping for growth. Not only do Trusts have to juggle multiple procurement projects across multiple schools, but they must also stay informed about the contractual commitments and non-compliant contracts that may be inherited following a merger.
In the ever-evolving education landscape, MATs continue expanding and reshaping how schools collaborate and operate. While this growth brings numerous opportunities, it also presents unique challenges, particularly in procurement and contract management.
Imagine a MAT consisting of multiple schools and growing, each with its own photocopying or ground maintenance services contract, all expiring at different times. The result? A logistical nightmare and potential compliance risk. This scenario is one that many of our clients face as they grow and regularly come to us for advice on.
