Enter The Hive!

The Hive is a group-buying service offering schools the opportunity to purchase popular educational hardware and software at massively discounted prices. By securing the best possible deals with well-known technology suppliers, The Hive provides an alternative avenue for procurement that enables schools to group together to take advantage of significant savings on technology products.

All deals require a small minimum number of schools to purchase the deal for it to go ahead, however as most deals have no upper limit, numerous schools can enjoy the sizable discounts on offer. Therefore, when you see a great deal, tell other schools about it! Deals that do not achieve the minimum number of purchasers required will be ‘off’ and schools will not be charged. If the deal is 'on' at the end of the sales period, the company supplying the product or service will invoice the school directly.

With no tie-ins or future commitments required, schools can opt to take advantage of offers as and when it suits them, with no obligation to purchase anything further through The Hive.

Where The Hive differs from popular mainstream group-buying websites commonly offering one-day deals, is that all deals available through The Hive will be procurable for three weeks, giving schools the opportunity to assess the product and have the relevant internal discussions.
