Books & Learning Resources procurement guide
Books and learning materials are supplied against curriculum lists and enrolment numbers, including library stocking. Recurring-supply procurement should define the exact item list, unit pack, quality level and consumption pattern so alternatives and call-off arrangements can be compared consistently.
Item range and consumption pattern
Applications include Curriculum textbook supply, Library stocking and expansion, Teacher reference materials and Education programme distribution. Separate routine lines from occasional or branded items and identify users, usage rate, compatibility with dispensers/equipment and any controlled-use restrictions.
Product, pack and approval requirements
Set the line schedule around Titles and curriculum requirements, Quantities per title, Binding and durability requirements, Delivery schedule against term dates and Cataloguing and labelling requirements. Record acceptable equivalents, sample or artwork approval, label and pack requirements, and any safety or product documents required for the intended use.
Call-off supply and delivery control
Define unit and case packs, order frequency, minimum/maximum call-off quantities where the buyer has them, delivery points, receiving hours, storage limits, batch/expiry rotation where relevant and reporting needed under a supply contract.
