Why Schools Buy Refurbished IT Hardware From Us

Stretch tech budgets further

Refurbished laptops, refurbished desktops and other tech can save you up to 60% as opposed to buying brand new devices, allowing teachers and IT managers to purchase more equipment with the same budget.

Reliable technology for classrooms

Every device we supply goes through a 110 point refurbishment and quality control test prior to shipping to ensure it performs reliably for everyday school use. Every device is backed by a minimum three year warranty, and your dedicated account manager is on hand to resolve any issues.

Flexible purchasing options

Education providers can get the tech they need from us using official purchase orders and also in bulk when required.

Support sustainable procurement

By choosing refurbished IT equipment, you can help reduce electronic waste and extend the life of valuable technology.

The Rapid IT Promise

Every device we sell is professionally refurbished, tested and prepared to meet strict quality standards before it reaches your school.

Carefully refurbished inside and out

Each device is inspected by our technicians and securely wiped before refurbishment begins. Key components are tested across more than 110 quality checks.

Certified data sanitisation

All data bearing materials are securely wiped using certified data erasure software or destroyed. This ensures all previous data is permanently erased and completely irrecoverable.

Aesthetically pleasing hardware

Devices are professionally cleaned and refreshed, with cases polished to reduce visible marks. Damaged keyboard keys and touchpads are repaired or replaced where required.

Ready to use from day one

Before approval, every device is installed with the latest supported operating system and updates and undergoes final testing to ensure it is ready to use for years to come.

Quality and Security You Can Trust

Rapid IT operates to recognised industry standards that ensure devices are managed securely and professionally throughout the refurbishment process.

Real Examples from the Education Sector

Altus Education Partnership needed to replace 250 devices ahead of Windows 10 end of life, an upgrade that could have cost £200,000 if new equipment had been purchased.

Rapid IT worked closely with the Trust’s IT Director to create a clear replacement plan and rollout forecast, helping secure preferential bulk pricing and align resources for deployment.

The result was a smooth upgrade and a saving of £145,000.

The thing that stood out about Rapid IT is that the quality of the refurbished equipment that we buy and the processes of quality control that it goes through are far and way the best we’ve ever used from refurbished IT companies. The account management side is absolutely fantastic too - they’re not pushy, pestering me for sales constantly - they simply concentrate on building a relationship with you.

Steve Kerns

Director of IT

Altus Education Partnership

I am extremely pleased with how I managed to purchase the amount of equipment within a limited budget. The PCs have proved to be very reliable and the specification is more than adequate for the students to use within the school environment. The pre and post sales advice and all aspects of customer care have made the process very easy.
