Smarter spending for Academy Trusts: Commercial contracts, procurement and making more of your budget

Join Ward Hadaway and Lloyds for a practical webinar exploring how academy trusts can take a more informed and effective approach to their commercial and financial arrangements.

Whether you are involved in finance, procurement, operations or the wider leadership of an academy trust, this session will offer practical insights to help you manage commercial arrangements effectively and make the most of your resources.

During this webinar, we will cover:

• Getting more from commercial contracts – Emma Swann, partner and Education specialist, will share practical tips for schools and colleges negotiating commercial agreements, covering pricing, liability, contract length and force majeure, as well as options for varying or terminating existing agreements.
• Understanding procurement requirements – Tim Care, partner and procurement expert, will provide an overview of the latest procurement rules and what academy trusts need to know to help ensure compliance.
• Rethinking payments in education – Alison Phelps, Education Relationship Manager, and Alex Hill, Education Sector Specialist at Lloyds, will explore how schools can improve efficiency, strengthen financial control and generate additional income from existing spend.

Join us to discover practical ways to reduce risk, improve efficiency and get more value from your spending.

You will be able to ask your own questions in advance via the registration form, or you can use the Q&A feature in Zoom on the day.

We hope you will be able to join us, but if you have any questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
