Summary:

Business manager Sue Simkiss from Queen Mary's School, Walsall, visits Haydonleigh Primary School in Swindon where bursar Sue Heath uses collaborative purchasing opportunities to make her budget stretch a little further. She's introduced to Julie Collins from the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation, one of a number of local authority owned purchasing organisations that provide great savings for schools on a vast range of products.Bursar Sue Heath also introduces Sue Simkiss to a collaborative purchasing online platform, which allows schools to post requests that suppliers can then pitch for. Sue Heath has also bought a number of items through their Storm purchasing events, where schools club together to purchase a high volume of a single item, achieving substantial savings. Sue Simkiss has brought a shopping list with her to Haydonleigh, and using a combination of local authority buying organisations, and the online purchasing platform, we see how much money Sue can save.
