Providing Computer Leasing IT Support for Schools

A Mobile Learning Scheme allows schools to procure the latest ICT technology via a compliant operating lease while having the parents or carers cover a percentage or all of the costs. We take ownership of the solution by managing the lifecycle of the equipment and the parent/carer interaction through our parent/carer portal, while also providing the necessary protection.

A Mobile Learning Scheme is a joint solution offered by CHG-MERIDIAN and our partners, focusing on providing transparency for educational institutions and parents or carers. There are no hidden costs as we split out the cost of the equipment, financial terms and additional services so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

At CHG-MERIDIAN UK, we specialize in delivering lease agreements that fully comply with Department for Education (DfE) and Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) guidelines, ensuring adherence to the School Financial Value Standard (SFVS). Our commitment to transparency and compliance means educational institutions can trust our leasing solutions to meet regulatory standards while optimizing value for money.

We understand the importance of balancing financial stewardship with providing quality education. By partnering with CHG-MERIDIAN, schools gain access to tailored lease agreements that address their specific needs and objectives, all while maintaining strict compliance with regulatory requirements. With our expertise, schools can confidently navigate the complexities of leasing, knowing they are receiving solutions that prioritize both financial accountability and educational excellence.

A unique service that we offer to our Education Sector customers is to enable ICT equipment to be delivered across your preferred installation window, with your supplier invoices paid in full and on time. Your lease can then commence on your preferred start date or once new budgets have come into effect, giving you the flexibility to take on the equipment when you need it. 

Aside from assisting schools with deployments and utilising next year budgets, this also helps at the end of the agreement with the customer able to manage their end of lease options. This has been proven to be particularly beneficial for Academies implementing a summer refresh, meaning that the end of the lease will not fall during term time.

We offer a sale and leaseback solution on a wide variety of assets. If your asset is less than 4 months old, we can pay you the original purchase price. If the asset is older than 4 months, we can offer you the net book value of the asset.

By using our sale and leaseback process, you can raise capital by selling your existing assets to CHG-MERIDIAN. There is zero disruption to your institution as you continue to retain all the benefits of usage yet transfer the risk of ownership and disposal to us.

One single upfront payment to take advantage of the residual value investment, with nothing to pay for the remaining minimum term of the lease.

Our carbonZER0 product allows customers to offset the CO₂ emissions that are generated in the transportation, production, use and end-of-lease phase of their ICT leased equipment.

The green agenda and sustainability is very much a hot topic in the public sector. Since 2019 it has been more commonly asked of Multi-Academy Trusts to provide reporting on their energy and carbon information as per ESFA regulations. This is why it is important to the Education team to support schools and trusts with our carbonZER0 offering, enabling carbon offsetting for your IT assets.
