The general principle is: 1. Go to www.buydevon.gov.uk and using your ID and password log in (Remember to keep your password secure.) 2. Use the supplier list or the product search to find what you need. Alternatively use the request for price option to source non catalogue items. 3. Add the item to basket and for recurrent items add to favourites too. 4. Carry on shopping until you are ready to checkout 5. Checkout. 6. Your list is returned electronically to school for authorisation and sending to the supplier. 7. Log out from the site 8. Await the goods. * This method is designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness at the school. * Data entry is made once (currently bursars have to try and understand the handwriting of many account holders and this leads to errors and miss-orders). * You will be able to do this at home or school, as you wish. * You can save your regular orders for future use (and amendment). * You can still delegate actions to others and approve the content order before it is despatched to the supplier. * You can carry on as now if you wish, without the savings. * Once you are used to the method, it will save you time. * Although individual supplier catalogues may look different, the process will be the same for any supplier who has a web catalogue on the @Devon Portal. * For some suppliers a web catalogue is not suitable for their business so the @Devon Portal will only present an advertising page for your information. * If you work in a number of schools you can set up with the same personal part to your id, but obviously the school part will be different. You can select your own passwords.
