Overview

Introduction

Welcome to the 2026/27 edition of our Schools Brochure. Education is one of the most powerful forces for creating opportunity. As technology continues to evolve, its value is no longer measured by features alone, but by the real, meaningful impact it has on teaching, learning and school performance. Delivering that impact requires more than great technology; it requires the right expertise, guidance and partnership to turn ambition into achievement.

Delivering that impact requires more than great technology; it requires the right expertise, guidance and partnership to turn ambition into achievement.

For over 35 years, Converge has supported thousands of

Primary and Secondary schools and Multi Academy Trusts across the UK with tailored, end-to-end IT solutions. Our consultative approach aligns technology with each school’s specific goals, challenges and digital ambitions. Sustainability is central to how we work. From design and deployment to support, refurbishment and recycling, we deliver a circular technology solution from our 100,000 sq. ft. UK headquarters. As the UK’s only IT manufacturer and valueadded reseller with a recycling facility, we help schools extend technology life, reduce environmental impact and get more value from investments. Inside, you’ll see how Converge can help build stronger foundations for teaching, learning and operations, while supporting a more sustainable future for education. Simon Harbridge

Together, let’s accelerate what’s possible.

Frameworks

Compliant procurement made simpler for schools and trusts

Speak to your Converge account manager to explore the frameworks available to your school or trust. Which Frameworks are Converge on? Framework

With budgets under pressure and scrutiny increasing, schools and trusts need a straightforward way to buy technology compliantly, confidently and quickly. Converge helps identify the right framework route, reduce admin and evidence value for money. Our framework specialists help you access the most relevant frameworks with confidence, saving time and reducing procurement complexity. Framework agreements provide a compliant, efficient route to pre-approved suppliers, allowing your school or trust to procure products and services without a full tender process.
