Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from each school managing its own supplier relationships?

One Trust Partner replaces multiple separate relationships with a single point of contact, one dashboard, and one set of commercial terms.

Do individual schools lose flexibility under this model?

No. Bespoke recruitment is still built around each school’s needs; what changes is coordination and visibility at Trust level.

What visibility does Trust leadership get that schools don’t?

Trust-wide reporting on spend, fill rates and compliance status across every academy, in one place.

What does onboarding look like for a Trust versus a single school?

Answer coming soon.

How is pricing structured for a Trust compared with a single school?

Answer coming soon.

Do we need to choose between Zen+ and Master Vendor, or can we use both?

Answer coming soon.
