The Learning Environment Catalogue is provided by the SWGfL as a central resource enabling schools to compare Learning Environments from the Becta approved list, including the following products:
By using the catalogue, your school can benefit by:
- Engaging in appropriate purchasing procedure
- Following a structured purchasing process ensuring your schools individual requirements are met
- Taking advantage of aggregated pricing structures
- Receiving a high level of service delivery specified and required by the South West Grid for Learning
Making the right purchase in a manner that provides the school with a safe justification for their choice, is a time consuming business requiring a considerable amount of research and detailed analysis of the capabilities of competing suppliers and their products.
SWGfL provide the Learning Environment Catalogue to streamline the process as much as possible, and help schools make the right decision to meet their individual needs.
By choosing a Learning Environment from this catalogue, schools ensure they purchase a product backed by a supplier meeting the BECTA Learning Platform Services Framework and the enhanced SWGfL Partner service levels.
The SWGfL Learning Environment Catalogue provides a level playing field for these suppliers to present their capabilities to schools, making it much easier to compare them and arrive at a sound decision.
By amalgamating the purchases of schools throughout the South West region, SWGfL are able to negotiate special pricing for purchases made through the catalogue.
In the next section “Using The Catalogue” you will find guidance and resources to support you through the purchasing process.
