Description

Introduction
Background
REAch2 Academy Trust is the largest primary-only academy trust in the UK, operating 62 schools with a collective turnover of £150m. The Trust is committed to delivering exceptional educational opportunities, particularly for children in disadvantaged areas, ensuring every child receives the support and resources they need to excel.

However, as public funding pressures continue to grow, the Trust recognises the need to diversify its income streams to enhance sustainability and maintain its ability to deliver transformative educational experiences.

More detail about the RFI

This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to understand more about the income generation marketplace and the suppliers operating within this market. We are keen to hear from providers with a track record (that can be evidenced) of income generation. We are keen to hear from providers with experience of securing income for the education sector who are able to help the Trust develop and execute a targeted strategy for diversifying and increasing its income. We are keen to develop a robust and sustainable funding framework that complements government funding, enhances the Trust's ability to invest in educational enrichment, and supports key strategic initiatives and we are asking the market for ideas before we undertake a formal procurement competition.

Please direct any questions to Fiona.wood@reach2.org, and thank you for your time and expertise
