Welcome to BuyWays, the schools procurement e-learning resource.

BuyWays has been developed as a basic introduction to procurement. It can be used by anyone working in any school in England - bursars and business managers, administrators, governors, teachers and headteachers.

All schools users can access BuyWays free of charge by clicking the 'Create new account' link opposite on the right and following the simple registration process there. To register, you will need to know the name of your school's Local Authority, and the school's unique 4-digit ID number. If you don't know this, your school bursar or business manager should be able to tell you.

The guidance and advice in the BuyWays modules can be used as an introduction, and basic up-skilling course, for anyone new to schools procurement, or as a handy 'refresher' for more experienced buyers.

There are six modules in the course, dealing with topics like the Procurement Cycle, EU Legislation, and Contract Management. There are case studies to help you learn about real-life procurement, and short review sections where you can test your knowledge.

We hope you enjoy BuyWays and find it useful.

If you're not working in a school, you can request guest access here Buyways.ENQUIRIES@dcsf.gsi.gov.uk .
