We are delighted to announce that our new Education Decarbonisation Framework has officially been approved by the Department for Education (DfE) and is now listed on the DfE’s Find a Framework website.
The unique framework, awarded to Barker, offers a simple and compliant route to market for any education establishment in the UK to access sector specific decarbonisation experts in the knowledge that a robust tender exercise has taken place to award the framework.
Since its launch in May, WME’s Education Decarbonisation Framework has set a new benchmark as the UK’s only decarbonisation framework specifically designed for the education sector. With this DfE approved framework, we are further empowered to support schools in reducing carbon emissions, reducing energy spend and improving energy efficiency, leading the way toward a sustainable future for the education sector.
A Word from WME’s Head of Business Development
Gavin Owen, Head of Business Development at WME, commented on the milestone:
"We’re thrilled to receive this endorsement from the Department for Education. The addition of our Education Decarbonisation Framework to Find a Framework is a testament to WME’s commitment to providing schools and academies with practical, achievable steps to decarbonise through our experienced framework partner, Barker.
The education estate is unique, and schools play a crucial role in leading sustainability efforts and inspiring future generations. With this framework, we’re proud to support them with a framework that’s designed with their unique needs in mind."
