Our Procurement Essentials section provides you with an overview of public sector procurement which applies to the education sector. Schools, multi-academy trusts and colleges of further education are all governed by the procurement regulations which apply when spending public money.
There are nine chapters in this guide which will take you step-by-step through the key procurement processes, explain why they are important and describe how to carry them out. It’s the place to find out how to improve procurement within your organisation and gain access to examples of procurement good practice.
