Save Money is a series designed to help schools make the most of their budgets and ensure that their procurement is sustainable and a good investment. The programmes were made alongside the DCSF's Educational Procurement Centre.

The Educational Procurement Centre (EPC), part of the Department for Children, Schools and Families, was established to help promote and support more sustainable procurement practices and effective contract management across the schools sector.
