Roll-over leases
Description
Bridgid Nzekwu and DfES procurement expert Claire Dicks visit Coleraine Park Primary School in north London to see if they can identify ways the school can save money. They find that acting headteacher Roy Tedscoe and business manager Dawne McKenzie are already keeping a tight reign on the school's budget, constantly looking out for better deals whether for IT equipment, telephones or paper. They ve managed to end recent years with a small surplus to spend on projects like a new language base. But there's now very little slack in the budget and there are still dream projects waiting to be realised. It's difficult to see where savings can be found until Claire and Bridgid go round the school and ask questions about the contract for some essential office equipment. What they discover comes as a big surprise to the acting head and the business manager.
