Procurement Principles

Trustworthy Business Model

  1. Clear Pricing Structures: No hidden fees or dark-pattern upselling. Provide transparent pricing structures, ensuring that educational institutions understand the costs associated with your products and services. Align your pricing with the success of public education. See Principle.

Step by Step

We want to keep Guidelines achievable and avoid creating unrealistic barriers to entry for innovators. Therefore, we recommend staffing Guidelines to 4 levels of maturity, corresponding to company impact (i.e. growth) milestones:

  1. Level zero: not following guidelines

  2. Junior level: for 0 - 10.000 active students/year (typically 1-10 FTE)

  3. Medior level: for 10.000 - 100.000 active students/year (typically 11-34 FTE)

  4. Senior level: >100.000 active students/year (typically 35 > FTE)
