Vale of Glamorgan
Vale of Glamorgan has embarked on a long-term programme to increase the use of electronic procurement throughout the authority, with the aim of rolling out xchangewales eTrading for Schools to each of its 59 schools. The Council believes that the xchangewales eTrading for Schools system will be a distinct advantage to the education sector in Wales.
At the heart of the community of Peterston is Peterston-Super-Ely C/W Primary School, home to 180 primary and nursery aged pupils. Peterston-Super-Ely C/W Primary School is in the second wave of this roll-out. There were 4 schools in the first wave, 6 including Peterston-Super-Ely C/W Primary School in the second wave and 9 schools in the third wave. Implementation to all schools is expected to be complete by the end of 2010.
Headteacher for 20 years, David Griffiths and his school have become one of the Vale of Glamorgan's pioneers for the eProcurement system, xchangewales eTrading for Schools.
We expect to see a greater take up of Zanzibar across the Public Sector and BSI is now well placed to provide superior payment processes to this market place following our industry first. The development is available to other public sector organisations through the CPS contract which was recently opened up as a framework agreement.
