The Headteachers and Bursars Handbook of Procurement

Bringing Together Buyers for Education and Local and National Suppliers 

Currently in its sixth edition, the Headteachers’ and Bursars’ Handbook of Procurement is SCEMES’ flagship publication.

The Handbook is over 300 pages in length and contains a directory of some 3,000 national and regional companies, that supply schools with a vast range of products and services.

The A5, full-colour glossy publication is mailed to over 32,000 primary and secondary schools as well as further education colleges each September, and has become every educational buyer’s first point of reference for solving their purchasing needs.

With both national and regional sections, the Handbook of Procurement provides purchasers with a choice of product and service providers and allows them to source best value products from within their local communities as well as from a national marketplace.
