YPO partners with Currys Business to provide new tech to schools
The partnership will initially ensure compliant access to more than 30 electronic products, including well known laptop and tablet brands
The Yorkshire Purchasing Foundation (YPO), a public sector procurement body, has partnered with Currys Business to help make electronics equipment more readily available to schools in the region.A range of technology, including laptops and tablets, will be available for purchase compliantly as part of YPO’s new partnership with Currys Business.
YPO said the partnership is expected to streamline electronics procurement processes for education organisations, enabling them to “simplify small quantity purchases and replenish their equipment quickly, without the need for large bulk orders”.
The partnership will initially ensure compliant access to more than 30 electronic products, including well known laptop and tablet brands.
Ashley Cartwright, YPO head of Trading, said: “We are incredibly excited to launch this partnership with Currys Business and make an essential service available to the public sector.
“With laptops often lasting only six to nine months in schools, it is crucial that they can purchase small batches of contemporary electronics quickly and compliantly. As many budgets across the public sector are already tight, it is also crucial that staff have access to the best prices, something that this partnership will help us to deliver.”
Dean Kramer, director of Currys Business, added: “This partnership will enhance our offering and unlock further opportunities for Currys Business to offer amazing technology to the public sector and schools in this area. We look forward to working closely with YPO to provide them with the right solutions to support their wide range of customers and their specific requirements.”
