Our group’s unique advantage [Insert list of existing school expertise or positive recent examples of cross- school collaboration] We are already working with other schools in our community. We have systems, resources, suppliers in common with other schools, ie the same alarm systems company. We have information, expertise and data to share, ie our great accounting system or staff with procurement experience/expertise.

Start small and grow Ideas to get us started: Support a working group to meet monthly to explore some ideas for us. Complete an activity survey to find out more about our spending areas and what knowledge and expertise we can share. Find out more about our common suppliers.
