Directories

SCEMES’ directory services for schools

SCEMES Ltd produces two Directories each year, which are sent free of charge to 32,000 schools and colleges across Britain every April and September.

Our Directories are:

  • The Headteachers and Bursars Handbook of Procurement
  • The Headteachers and Bursars Handbook of Sustainable Procurement

Both these directories contain listings of businesses wishing to advertise their products and services to schools, and are supported by the interactive directory of suppliers SCEMES Online.

SCEMES has been producing directories for schools since 2001 and the Handbooks have become recognised as an up-to-date and valuable resource for all educational purchasers.

SCEMES’ Handbooks list businesses in geographical regions allowing schools to source suppliers from within their local communities as well as from a national marketplace, and contain interesting articles from experts within the fields of procurement and sustainable procurement. They are the leading resource in educational purchasing, and advertise the services of thousands of businesses to schools.

To find out more about each of the Handbooks, click on the links below, or browse the yellow and green sections on our homepage.
