Win more education contracts.
CrowMark helps suppliers to schools, multi-academy trusts and colleges find education tenders and win contracts, from social value to data assurance. Every figure and commitment in your bid traces back to your own data and the rules that apply.
Many buyers, tight budgets, careful due diligence.
Selling to education means selling to a fragmented set of buyers. Local authorities buy on behalf of maintained schools, multi-academy trusts run central procurement across dozens of sites, and colleges and universities follow their own governance. Catering, cleaning, grounds, ICT and management information systems, estates and professional services are all procured this way, often through Department for Education and Crown Commercial Service frameworks, and advertised on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender through e-sourcing portals.
Three things make education bids demanding. First, the buyer mix. A single-site school may buy under delegated thresholds, while a trust-wide tender is a formal, high-value procurement, so the same supplier has to pitch at very different levels. Second, due diligence. Because suppliers handle pupil and staff data or connect to school systems, buyers expect data protection evidence and often Cyber Essentials before award. Third, social value. In-scope central government education contracts carry a minimum 10% social value weighting under PPN 002, mandatory from 1 October 2025, and the Procurement Act 2023 expects published KPIs and delivery evidence on larger contracts.
For a supplier with a small bid function, keeping every response accurate, consistent and on time across trusts, colleges and councils is the hard part.
One supplier voice, every buyer.
Find the right education work, daily. CrowMark tracks Contracts Finder and Find a Tender and refreshes at 06:00 each day. Filter by CPV code, region and value so only the school, trust, college and university contracts you can deliver reach your list.
Stay consistent across buyers. CrowMark drafts answers grounded in bids your organisation has already submitted, so a single supplier voice holds across a small single-site tender and a trust-wide procurement. A person reviews and approves every draft.
Score social value in code. CrowMark computes social value on the PPN 002 model at the 10% minimum weighting, over a curated catalogue of TOMs-aligned measures. Every pound and percentage has to exist in your own data before the draft is released.
Disclose AI and evidence delivery. Every AI-assisted draft carries a PPN 017 transparency disclosure. After award, CrowMark checks the Procurement Act 2023 KPI duties as an advisory step and gives you a place to evidence what you committed to. These checks are advisory and are not legal advice.
Cyber Essentials and data assurance for education due diligence sit with CrowCyber, and overdue invoices on delivered services sit with CrowCash, so qualify, win and get paid is covered by one platform.
