Case Study: Department for Education achieves data-driven school savings with Capgemini

Data driven decision-making helps the UK Department for Education to define future savings

The Department for Education’s Schools Commercial team needed a better way to understand the data behind its mission to deliver £1 billion in savings for schools. It worked with Capgemini to validate data from the Schools Buying Hub and improve its ability to show the value of its pilot procurement program to ministers and other stakeholders.

Capgemini helped the team build analysis packs, dashboards, and an Insights & Service Design team to turn raw data into clearer insight and long-term analytics capability. The result was easier communication of achievements and savings potential, stronger support for expanding the Schools Buying Hub, and a more centralized, data-driven service to help schools get better value from procurement.
