OPEN. The Online Procurement for Educational Needs (OPEN) marketplace has been specifically designed for schools to make the hassle of buying goods and services quicker, easier and simpler. The Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) feel that this will offer real choice and collaborative buying potential to schools.

This system offers schools a real opportunity to generate short and long term savings.

Many of Profiles product ranges are available through your local or preferred supplier, however, as a nominated supplier Profile are also happy to support Governement savings targets by promoting the purchase of its products through this marketplace.
