Strategic partnerships, tailored solutions
We hold strategic partnerships with the top one to three vendors in each technology. Deep where we lead, with a credible alternative under the same technology when your need points elsewhere. We flex to the problem, not to a single catalogue.

HP for education
Where a partnership warrants it, a vendor has its own pages on our terms. Our HP pages set out the laptop and desktop ranges by education tier: who each range is for, and the benefit to teaching and budgets.
Our industry accreditations and certifications are set out with the rest of our compliance evidence on the Compliance Posture page.
