Our commercial contracts service for education providers includes day-to-day contracts such as catering, cleaning and security contracts.  We also regularly draft, negotiate and review multi-party transport agreements and advise on, for example, agreements relating to education visits. We can support schools and colleges to prepare robust Hire Facilities agreements to ensure that you are protected and fully compliant with safeguarding obligations.

We support schools and colleges to not only ensure that the contracts entered into offer appropriate protections, but to offer advice when schools and colleges are seeking to vary or exit commercial contracts. This includes advice in respect of breach, force majeure, termination, and ensuring that effective notice is given.

We are also well-versed in supporting educational institutions to prepare and update subcontracting agreements for apprenticeships, as well as contracts with higher education providers.
