Personal Shopper
A free independent service designed to indicate where Schools, Academies, and Trusts can secure additional funding and other benefits when purchasing 25 or more Windows 10 devices.
Would you like support from an independent personal shopper who can help you with your next procurement of Windows 10 devices with the added bonus of finding you rewards and other funding possibilities?
Tablet Academy are proud to provide a free impartial personal shopper service which not only removes the hassle of sourcing 3 competitive quotes, but also helps you to identify extra funding you could claim when purchasing 25 or more Windows 10 devices.
What's the catch?
This service is impartial and completely free as Tablet Academy receives no income from any device sales. You will receive all quotations directly from the resellers and will place your order directly with your chosen supplier. Our motivation is to help you secure additional funds that can be allocated towards other services and solutions that Tablet Academy can offer such as Transformation Consultancy, Teacher Training, Student Enrichment Days and products available in our STEM Shop.
Read on to see how we can support your organisation.
As an example, if you buy 30 devices at £300 (£9,000) and trade-in 30 old Windows devices, you can claim £4,500 back, plus an extra reward worth at least £2,000, a total of up to 72% of your purchase.
Terms and conditions apply. In most cases the 72% is delivered as free services or additional technology.
Trade-in devices may be sourced on your behalf.

How does it work?
1. Complete the form provided or email your device requirements to personalshopper@tablet-academy.com
2. Tablet Academy will confirm receipt of your enquiry before sharing your request with a minimum of 4 recognised and reputable educational resellers.
3. The resellers provides Tablet Academy with price quotations addressing your procurement needs.
4. Tablet Academy checks your device request for compliance against a number of reward and funding programmes from a range of sources that we are aware of.
5. Tablet Academy then forwards you the original quotations from the resellers along with an outline of the additional rewards and funding we believe we can help you secure.
6. Your organisation confirms to Tablet Academy the quotation, and accompanying additional rewards and funding, you wish to proceed with.
7. Tablet Academy then introduce you directly to an account manager from the chosen reseller to arrange the purchase directly with them.
8. Once the order is processed by the reseller, Tablet Academy will work with them and yourselves to secure the additional rewards and funding you have indicated you wish to apply for.
Please note we are unable to guarantee rewards or additional funding as the eligibility, terms, and conditions of the programmes are out of our control. However, on every occasion we will endeavour to secure for you the very best value for money.

Considering Leasing?
More and more institutions are moving towards a leasing strategy when it comes to purchasing technology.
By leasing equipment over 3 years you can ensure the technology your staff and students are accessing is up-to-date and able to support the latest innovations from developers.
A device leased over 3 years, in most cases, will cost you less than if you were to purchase the technology outright. It also allows you to forecast the spend on IT for 3 years at a time, making it easier to manage for business managers.
Schools exploring one to one device programmes will also often explore parental contribution programmes, this is where parents fund the device through a scheme offered by the school at no risk to the institution itself.
Tablet Academy can talk you through these options and introduce you to relevant partners if required.
