Strengthen your bid to future-proof your workshop

21/02/2022

Need help bidding for capital equipment?

Do you need new equipment in your workshop or classroom, but need support to put together a strong bid for your senior leadership team? 

Help is at hand! We’ve worked with teachers and senior management in schools to put together this guide to help you make your bid stronger.

What 21st-century learning looks like...

Making sure you win the bid for quality equipment and machinery is fundamental to future-proofing your workshop, and ensuring students have the right equipment to support their creative minds for many years to come.

Consider only quality, education ready machinery.

Kitting out your workshop with education ready, quality machinery is essential when putting together your bid. Cutting corners on imported and cheap equipment will not only increase the risk of harm to your students but will result in the rise of ongoing costs and possibly a reduced lifespan of your machines for maintenance and repair long term. You may even face a large outlay to replace your equipment much earlier than expected.
