Buy together Save together
Harness the potential of your combined buying power through My Academy Trust. Designed especially for multi-academy trusts of five or more we can provide an exclusive offering allowing you to maximise your savings.
By aggregating spend you can take advantage of up to 5% rebate on annual catalogue stock spend accumulated from across your multiple sites, meaning that the more your academy trust spends with ESPO, the more savings you’ll get back overall.
As more of your academies use ESPO for their everyday buying needs, your MAT can increase its rebate level and therefore achieve greater annual returns.
Actual rebate payable is calculated on an average stock spend per pupil basis and calculated annually using DfE gov.uk data. Please contact us to find out the rebate potential for your trust. *SPP - Spend Per Pupil Using ESPO as their main supplier, academy trusts can achieve significant savings: Minimum SPP for retro £10-14.99 SPP £15-19.99 SPP £20-24.99 SPP £25-34.99 SPP £35-39.99 SPP £40+ 1.25% 1.75% 2% 2.25% 2.75% 4% 1% 1.5% 1.75% 2% 2.5% 3% Number of Academies in Trust 10-19 5-9 20+ 1.5% 2% 2.25% 2.5% 3% 5% | 2
