Supplies & Purchasing Catalogues

For many years we have produced local authority supplies & purchasing catalogues.

We've worked with councils from Aberdeen to Exeter, and covered everything from abc to A to Z.

Here are just some of the local authorities that we've worked with in the last 20 years

  • Scotland Excel (formerely abc)- Scotland's largest purchasing agency, incorporating over half of Scotland's Councils and well over half the educational spending in Scotland
  • County Supplies - Hampshire County Council's Supplies & Purchasing Department
  • Supply Zone – the purchasing arm of Devon County Council
  • A to Z Supplies - A to Z was the purchasing unit for Essex County Council until privatisation
  • City Supplies Organisation - for Birmingham City Council
  • City Supplies Organisation - for the City of Manchester
  • Cumbria Supplies
