News and events

We run a programme of free events and webinars for people who buy for schools and trusts.

Webinars

We run a series of free webinars during the academic year. They are designed to highlight DfE approved routes to market to buy a wide range of goods and services. These live webinars explain the buying process in a clear and easy to understand way and offer the opportunity to ask questions or seek further advice and support.

Events

We run free face to face events around the country, as well as attending national events. These offer people who buy for schools and trusts the opportunity to network with colleagues in their area and share their buying challenges. They are also an opportunity to find out more about the procurement support available from the Schools Commercial Team.
