Tom’s key focus is to support Barker’s clients as they transform their estates and decarbonise. He works across the education and public sectors and advises a number of sector bodies on estates management and energy reduction best practice.
Barker has been appointed as an approved supplier on the Everything Estates procurement framework, providing public sector organisations with a faster, fully compliant route to access Barker’s services and expertise.
The appointment reinforces Barker’s commitment to supporting schools, academy trusts, local authorities, NHS organisations and other public sector bodies through value-driven procurement solutions. Everything Estates has been designed specifically to simplify public sector procurement while maintaining full compliance, transparency and value for money.
As an approved supplier, Barker can now be engaged through the framework using either a direct award process or a mini-competition, giving public sector organisations greater flexibility when procuring services. This approach significantly reduces procurement timescales, removes unnecessary administrative burden and provides access to pre-qualified suppliers that have already demonstrated their capabilities.
Everything Estates supports a broad range of estates and property services and is available to schools, multi-academy trusts, colleges, universities, NHS trusts, local authorities, government departments and other eligible public sector organisations. Barker’s inclusion on the framework demonstrates that the business has successfully met the rigorous standards required for appointment, including evidencing its expertise, experience, operational processes and financial robustness.
The framework provides a fully managed procurement route, helping clients save months compared with traditional tender processes while ensuring all procurement activity remains auditable and compliant with public sector regulations.
Organisations interested in working with Barker through the Everything Estates framework are encouraged to get in touch to discuss their requirements and explore the most suitable procurement route.
