Procurement made simple

 

Whether you’re an individual primary school looking for quick hardware, or a large Trust scaling your infrastructure, we offer flexible, fully compliant, and hassle-free routes to buy the solutions you need.

5 easy ways to buy from RM technology

Depending on your budget, timeline and funding model, you can buy from RM Technology through five pathways: 

Multi site
1. Pre-vetted DfE and Public Sector Frameworks
 

If you’re looking for a guaranteed regulatory compliance, cost efficiency, and streamlined tendering without the admin headache, Department for Education (DfE) approved frameworks will give you an automatic quality filter. As an approved supplier, we save you from having to run long, complex tenders.

We are proudly appointed to 7 frameworks, ensuring absolute compliance with the latest procurement regulations, giving you pre-negotiated capping on fees, and drastically cutting down your time to market. 

Flexible
 2. Trade-in and reinvest 
 
 

If you’re looking to upgrade to commercial-grade HP devices while unlocking significant budget savings and meeting environmental sustainability goals, as multi-year HP Partner of the Year, we can offer you exclusive access to the HP Brighter Futures scheme. The scheme lets you turn your old, slow legacy hardware into cash rewards to offset the cost of brand-new devices. You can save up to £125 in cashback per device, including devices via donations from parents or local businesses! 

Scalability
3. Flexible leading and parental contribution schemes
 

Through our long-standing partnership with edde, the education finance specialists, we offer fully compliant funding solutions to get modern technology into your classroom without the upfront financial strain. Fully aligned to school financial regulations, leases are available to allow you to spread the cost of laptops, Chromebooks, or iPads over a manageable fixed term. We also work with edde to provide a seamless, low-cost month portal where parents can contribute towards their child’s personal learning device – inclusive of cases, warranties, and insurance.

Add to basket
4. Direct online buying from the RM Technology Store
 

For day-to-day IT upgrades, quick classroom resources, and immediate hardware needs, you can buy directly from our online store. The RM Technology Store is packed with carefully selected commercial-grade laptops, monitors, interactive whiteboards, and network infrastructure built for heavy school use. There’s no minimum order value, so you can order exactly what you need – whether it’s one replacement mouse, or 30 new staff laptops. The majority of our in-stock items are delivered directly to your school within 3 working days.

Safeguard
5. Direct consultative partnerships and strategic direction
 
 

For major infrastructure overhauls – like migrating your entire trust to a scalable cloud environment, implementing RM SafetyNet, or RM Unify – a cookie cutter approach won’t work. We can work alongside your leadership team to audit your current setup and build bespoke, modular proposals tailored to your strategic goals and DfE IT support standards.

From individual school to trust-wide management platforms, our portfolio pans the entirety of innovative educational technology.
