Education-led procurement.
Designed for schools, by schools.
Education Buying Group (EBG) is a not-for-profit, school-led Public Sector Buying Organisation (PSBO). We exist to help schools and trusts buy compliantly, save money and reinvest more into education.
Created by schools, for schools, EBG brings together collective buying power to deliver high-quality, public sector-compliant procurement solutions that protect schools from risk, volatility and rising costs.

PROVEN IMPACT
Over £150 million*
Since launching in 2022, schools and trusts have now spent over £150 million through contracts awarded via Education Buying Group frameworks.
That collective spend has:
- Delivered significant savings back into classrooms
- Strengthened compliance
- Embedded social value into supplier contracts
- Reduced procurement risk for schools and trusts
As a not-for-profit PSBO, any surplus generated is reinvested back into education through grants and sector initiatives.
