One Partner for Procurement, Setup and Security

Buying new laptops, servers, software licences or networking kit usually means chasing multiple vendors, then handing everything to IT to configure and secure afterwards. We fold procurement into your wider IT support, so it’s one less thing to manage separately.

🛒

Sourcing & Vendor Management

We handle the sourcing and comparison so you’re not stuck negotiating with multiple vendors or chasing quotes yourself.

🔐

Security-Vetted By Default

Every device and licence is configured with security in mind from the outset — not patched on as an afterthought.

⚙️

Deployment & Configuration

New hardware and software arrives set up, configured and ready for your team to use, not a box left on a desk.

♻️

Lifecycle & Secure Disposal

From warranty tracking to secure, compliant wiping and disposal of retired equipment, we manage the whole lifecycle.

3

Equipment arrives configured, secured and ready to use, with licensing set up correctly from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we use this to procure through the Everything ICT framework?

Yes. Sophlee is an approved supplier on Everything ICT, a DfE-approved procurement framework built to make buying technology and cyber security services simpler and fully compliant for schools, trusts and public sector organisations. This covers hardware, software and our wider cyber-focused IT support.

Do you sell hardware and software directly, or manage the process for us?

We manage the process on your behalf — understanding what you need, sourcing suitable options, handling licensing, and making sure everything is configured and secured before it reaches your team. The goal is one less thing for you to manage, not another vendor relationship to juggle.

Will new equipment be secure by default?

Yes. As a cyber security company first, we configure new hardware and software with security built in from the outset — patching, endpoint protection and access controls set up properly, not left for someone to sort out later.

What happens to our old equipment?

We handle secure, compliant disposal — including data wiping — so retired hardware doesn’t become a data protection risk sitting in a cupboard or heading to landfill with company data still on it.

Is this only for schools and the public sector?

No — the Everything ICT framework is specifically useful for schools, trusts and public sector organisations that need a compliant procurement route, but the procurement service itself is available to any organisation we support.

Does this tie into our existing IT support?

Yes. Procurement sits alongside our wider Cyber-Focused IT Support & Infrastructure and IT Support services, so what we procure for you is exactly what we then support, secure and maintain.
