Think IT managing director Neil Watkins has long believed that education has the power to change lives. With over 14 years’ experience of working with technology in schools, colleges and local authorities, Neil is turning IT in schools around by providing them with the best educational suppliers the industry has to offer through Think IT’s EU-tendered procurement framework.
Time and time again, when my colleagues and I speak to schools, they tell us that choosing and buying edtech is an increasingly difficult process. They simply don’t have the time – or the expertise – to create a detailed specification, go out to tender, evaluate lengthy technical proposals, interview suppliers and negotiate the best deals. On top of this process, there’s the ambiguity around financial budgets and the legalities and requirements which must be followed under EU procurement law. Edtech moves so fast, how do they know what they’ll need in three years time?
