“Illuminating Education, One Switch At A Time!”
LED for schools is a cost free solution to help schools easily acquire 3 quotes when looking to upgrade their school to energy efficient LED lighting. With many of the leading manufacturers now capable of reducing energy consumption by as much as 90% for some light fittings, it has never been a better time to make the switch and reduce your carbon footprint.
It’s not just about the planet either. With the added cost of energy continuing to increase, finding more efficient lighting solutions is a higher priority for most schools and academies than ever before. Making the switch can immediately create a positive cash flow as many installers provide Capex Free solutions to remove the upfront costs normally associated.
For many schools the process of switching to LED can be daunting and very time consuming. We provide an impartial platform for schools looking to establish what it is they need to be considering when switching to LED By simply providing us with a few basic details, we can help you access a panel of pre-approved installers that have demonstrated they have the experience required to upgrade a school to LED.
Your schools requirements will be sent to all LED installers we have on our list and you will then receive the details of any suppliers interested in providing you with a quote. You can then simply use our platform to select and identify the best 3 suppliers you would like to provide you with a proposal. There is no cost to the school whatsoever for this service.
Many of our suppliers can also cover the initial installation costs with a variety of Capex Free solutions or if you are considering applying for a grant, this platform will help your applications by proving you have sought to acquire the best possible return in energy savings for each pound spent from the grant.
Your selected suppliers will be required to use the portal to submit their tender. This ensures that each supplier answers the same questions and presents their proposal in a uniform manner. You can then use the portal to download, compare and score the submissions with ease and transparency.
The details submitted by the suppliers can be analysed on a digital comparison panel. So for example, you can select “Energy Savings per annum” to identify which supplier provides the most and which the least. You might want to analyse “Product Warranty (in months)” to see which supplier ifs offering the best warranty as part of the service.
Our platform will also identify any potential “hidden costs” that you might incur further down the line. Rather than these being hidden in the small print, our suppliers will be required to disclose these specifically when submitting their proposal. We believe all suppliers should be given a level playing field and in turn, this provides schools with an open and transparent set of figures from which it can make its assessment.
Our portal can even inform the suppliers of the outcome for you. Once a decision has been made, you can select a time period for any objections to be raised before proceeding with the supplier that has been awarded the contract.
