Optima Commercial helps schools, academies and multi-academy trusts reduce operating costs, improve supplier terms and gain greater control over essential business expenditure.

We independently review existing arrangements across energy, water, merchant services, telecommunications, waste management and other commercial cost areas, identifying unnecessary spend, poor contract structures and opportunities for stronger procurement.

Our approach is simple: understand what you are currently paying, compare the commercial position properly, and recommend changes only where there is a genuine benefit.

We support schools with:

• Electricity, gas and water procurement and renewals
• Commercial waste reviews and supplier benchmarking
• Telecommunications and connectivity
• Merchant services and card payment costs
• Contract and supplier cost reviews
• Capital allowances and specialist tax-saving opportunities
• Multi-site and MAT procurement reviews

There is no charge for an initial commercial review. Schools can upload an existing bill or contract securely through our website and we will review the information before recommending any next steps.

Optima Commercial works with a network of established specialist providers while remaining focused on the commercial interests of the customer.

Control your costs. Understand what you’re paying. Change only what’s worth changing.
