RBWM Traded Services

Traded services for schools and academies

RBWM’s traded services function is managed by the Business Development Team under Achieving for Children’s School Support Services. We provide a coordinated approach to the pricing and sales processes of the services on offer, whilst also acting as account managers, addressing any questions, concerns or escalations schools may have. 

 

Below you will find details on the 2025-26 traded services buy back, including this year’s Traded Services Brochure which outlines the services that are available to purchase under the annual buy back process.
