Why LGfL is Good for MATs
 and Local Authorities
 LGfL’s subscription comes into its own when you purchase
on behalf of multiple schools and this is why LGfL underpins
many of the largest and most successful Multi Academy Trusts
                       in the country.

   Economies of Scale! If you’re purchasing from LGfL on behalf of many schools
   then you will enjoy economies of scale and save more money.

   Single Point of Management! Many of LGfL’s bundled products can be managed
   in a central portal. This means that your MAT or Local Authority can allocate licences
   more flexibly across your school estate from a single control point – driving down
   your support costs.

   Build & Customise Your Own Wide Area Network (WAN). LGfL’s Ignite Network
   can help your MAT and Local Authority avoid the prohibitive costs of building a
   private network with expensive WAN technology and point to point connections.
   You can build your own Datacentres and go to the Cloud harnessing features such
   as VRF’s, MPLS and traffic engineering.

   Support for your IT Strategy. For MATs and Local Authorities, LGfL provides
   targeted training and support to develop your IT Strategy to maximise the impact
   of technology in your schools.

   Service Support & Management. For MATs and Local Authorities, we provide a
   Service Manager who has responsibility for ensuring that we are performing well
   and delivering a high-quality service to you.

   Contact us enquiries@lgfl.net or phone 020 8408 4455

Save More than You
                Spend with LGfL
LGfL’s bundle delivers unrivalled value
for money because we can source the
products we provide at a very low
cost due to our aggregated buying
power. Even when using only a
small proportion of what’s included
with the LGfL service, schools save
significant sums of money or achieve
considerable benefit.

For example, Sophos ransomware
protection would cost thousands of                    sch
                                                         ool

pounds for a large secondary school if
purchased in isolation. With LGfL, the
school is covered by a licence for the
whole school at no additional cost.

Schools making use of the LGfL bundle stand to benefit greatly. For
example, a secondary school could potentially save more than £17,000
per annum by making use of all the products on offer. A primary and
special school could potentially save more than £7,000 per annum. And
that is before we count in the additional funds identified by the Free
Schools Meal checker!

It is because LGfL offers such brilliant value for money that we now distribute over 1.2 million
licences to schools worth in excess of £10M in a typical academic year!

Coming Soon to Your
     LGfL Service in 2020/21
The massive economies of scale enable LGfL to
continuously drive down our costs and deliver huge
savings in the education market. As a not for profit
charity we invest those savings back into schools to
advance education. This enables LGfL to constantly
innovate. Since 2016 over 100 product innovations
and improvements have been made to the LGfL
subscription at no additional cost to the school.

In 2019 LGfL added new products such as Adobe
Creative Cloud - introduced enhanced security
protections as well as boosting the internet speed
across thousands of schools, and at no extra cost, as
part of the Pledge 2020 initiative.

In 2020/21 a number of innovations and changes
will be made to the LGfL service including:-

n Offering a second and resilient fibre
connection for schools.

n Offering a safeguarding monitoring solution to complement the filtering and protections
already in place.

n Offering a Simplified Sign On solution for schools to make it easier and simpler to access your
cloud and local systems with a single username and password.

n Improving Support for Cloud & Distance Learning. LGfL will set-up a new service called
CloudSquad to support the transition to Cloud platforms & remote learning including Google and
Office 365 to avoid schools incurring unnecessary costs.

n Delivering free backup and recovery service for primary and special schools. 50Gb of GDPR,
encrypted GridStore storage will be available to all primary and special schools to comply with its
Ofsted requirements.

n Continuing to expand the curriculum portfolio with ground-breaking technologies with a
focus on the expansion of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

SmartBuy
     Save yourself time and effort on procurement
        as we’ve done all the hard work for you!

     Is purchasing from your existing
     broadband supplier compliant with
     Procurement Law? Do they buy on
     behalf of thousands of schools for
     the advancement of education?
     LGfL qualifies in Procurement Law
     to act as a “Central Purchasing
     Body”, on behalf of schools and
     local authorities.

     Consequently, the services and
     products schools purchase directly
     from LGfL have already been
     sourced in compliance with EU
     Procurement Law, meaning that
     you can buy from us with confidence.

     Schools also benefit from Best Value because we’re tendering, and subsequently buying,
     on behalf of thousands of schools and public sector customers, saving schools millions of
     pounds every year.

     Therefore, with our help you can avoid expensive, time-consuming tendering processes
     and access the great services provided to over one million children and thousands of
     schools across the UK.

     LGfL can boast both procurement compliancy and buying on behalf of thousands of
     schools, so why not join them and us?
