Seacoast Educational Services coordinates a very successful Cooperative Purchasing Program for its members. Essentially, members provide a representative on the Administrative Services Committee to oversee the bid process including selecting products to place on the bid list, selecting vendors for the bidding, and awarding contracts to vendors after the bid process. SES provides initial Purchase Orders which the Schools / Districts / SAUs can send out after assigning their own PO Numbers. As the year continues, SES provides continued support with additional purchase orders and vendor communication.
