Your easiest option probably is to set up a separate network, after all.
Since you say that you are not a very large organization, it may actually
be easier. As long as you have a decent router (not consumer grade,
basically) in place, it can be a fairly trivial thing to do, and may have
other advantages.
The other possibility that *might* work (but is far more complex) is to
configure your main DHCP server to not respond to DHCP discovers from the
MAC addresses (or DHCP IDs) of your nodes.
