As a Department for Education (DfE)-approved framework, we facilitate schools and MATs in finding compliant ICT solutions to meet their requirements, and ensure value-for-money. https://www.everythingict.org/
ICT procurement isn’t most people’s favourite part of the job. It can be time-consuming and stressful.
The good news? It doesn’t have to be.
We help schools and MATs source the ICT solutions they need – in a way that’s fully compliant, cost-effective, and (dare we say it) even enjoyable.

Three network gaps increasing cyber risk in schools:
• Wi-Fi that hasn’t kept pace with classroom use
• Unreviewed access controls
• Outdated equipment without security updates

Common entry points for incidents — and often quick to fix.

Everything ICT supports practical, compliant network reviews.

We’re seeing pressure on IT hardware pricing, particularly where devices rely on memory components.

It’s not unique to education, but it’s starting to affect how schools and trusts plan refresh programmes and upgrades.

If you’re considering future hardware needs, start early.

Filtering and monitoring don’t fail because of the software — they fail because of the network underneath.
School IT infrastructure plays a critical role in safeguarding compliance. If the foundations aren’t right, the risk sits with the school.

When schools invest in ICT, it’s about more than the tech itself. It’s about value, compliance and managing risk.

• Is this compliant and recorded?
• Does it deliver value for money?
• Are data and cyber risks clear?
• Are suppliers properly checked?

The right questions make all the difference.

Buffering lessons and lagging cloud systems often point to broadband capacity, not devices.
That’s why improving broadband isn’t always about replacing infrastructure — and why slow connectivity can cost more than schools expect.

Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.

When new infrastructure opportunities appear, things move quickly. Schools that already understand their network gaps and ageing equipment can act fast — without scrambling for evidence later.

A little preparation now saves a lot of pressure later.
