The cheapest headline price often is not the cheapest system to own. Ask for https://procurementservices.co.uk/quick-links/framework-suppliers/compass-education every cost in writing, model the full term, and compare providers on the total rather than the quote. That is the figure governors will ask about, so bring it to the table first.
Fourth, ask about price increases over the life of the contract. Is any annual increase capped, and is it tied to a transparent measure such as inflation, or left at the vendor's discretion? An uncapped renewal clause is one of the more common sources of budget surprise for school business managers a few years into a contract.
Community and admissions rules deserve attention too. Faith schools frequently apply admissions criteria tied to the parish or the diocese, so the system should record the fields those criteria depend on and support the oversubscription process cleanly. If a platform cannot hold the data your admissions policy needs, the office ends up keeping a spreadsheet on the side, which defeats the purpose of a single system.

Certification is the third area worth confirming directly rather than assuming. Ask for current, dated evidence of information security certification such as ISO 27001, and, where the system handles payment data through billing or canteen accounts, confirmation of PCI-DSS compliance at the relevant level. Compass Education, like every other vendor on a shortlist, should be asked to produce this evidence directly rather than a school assuming it from marketing material or an incumbent relationship.
Start with the support model. Ask specifically whether support is UK-based, what hours it operates, and what the guaranteed response time is for a genuine outage versus a routine query. A vendor's answer here should be specific and contractual, not a general assurance about "excellent customer service," which means little without a defined service level attached to it.
