A proud partner of the KCS professional services framework
Telephony Specialists for Education
We can review your lines, calls, telephone system and mobiles to maximise savings…
Our experience working with schools means we can guide you through the many benefits of how moving to IP technology can help your school meet some of its objectives, such as safe guarding, GDPR compliance, future proofing and fraud protection, as ISDN digital lines are phased out of the public phone network.
The KCS Framework
Avian are proud to be one of a few select suppliers to be awarded the KCS Framework contract until 2022. The KCS Framework enables schools to bypass lengthy tendering processes saving time and money, as KCS has already done all the hard work.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
“The DECT phones are working really well with no issues with staff roaming around the school with them. The ICT department monitor the DECT phone base systems to ensure they are online via our internal network monitoring equipment to ensure they are online and not been unplugged etc are working with no issues ensuring staff are always contactable when moving round the school site.”
‘We have recently had a new IP Telephone system with IP lines installed connecting both our schools together. From the initial negotiation to the installation of the telephone system, Avian Telecoms has been a pleasure to work with. We were very impressed with how quickly any issues and requests post installation were resolved. Overall, what could have been a very stressful experience, wasn’t. In short, I would recommend KCS’s framework with Avian Telecoms.
“We needed to update our very old telephone system. After consulting the KCS framework we contacted Avian. From the first initial meeting (very quick!) we felt we were in very safe hands. We transferred our lines and calls and moved to IP over a fibre voice broadband service with an IP Telephone system. The installation process was excellent. Our new phone system is up and working and we are very happy and we would recommend Avian without hesitation.”
“We recently used the KCS Framework for telephony services and Avian provided a free audit of our existing telecoms. As some of our services are still in contract we have gone with a staged implementation plan and to date have switched over our calls to Avian Telecom. This was a seamless process with no downtime for the school and we are very happy with the savings which have equated to £2,500 over a 3 year term. The next phases will review the lines and telephone system and we are sure there will be even more savings.”
