About the buyer

Paradigm Trust is a multi-academy trust, classed as a schools buyer, running seven academies across Tower Hamlets in London and Ipswich in Suffolk. An eighth academy, Henley Gate Primary, is due to open in Ipswich in 2027. Individual academies submit draft budgets to the trust's Operations and Finance Committee each year. A separate Audit and Risk Committee reviews financial control and value for money across the trust. The trust's accounting officer must run procurement with financial effectiveness and avoid waste.

Over the past 5 years, most of Paradigm Trust's contract awards have been in fuel and energy and electrical equipment and lighting.
