1. This circular should be read in conjunction with Circulars 0005/2015 and 0022/2015.
2. From 3 to 7 August 2015 non-section 21 schools will have a final opportunity to order stationery and cleaning materials online for use in 2016.
3. Guidelines will be provided on CEMIS to explain how additional stationery and cleaning material needs should be captured and signed off.
4. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) will place orders for the requested stationery and cleaning materials on behalf of non-section 21 schools with contracted suppliers, as explained in Circular 0005/2015.
5. Schools may only place an online order for the items listed in the stationery and cleaning catalogues (hereto attached).
6. Please note that the stationery contract does not provide for the supply and delivery of photocopy paper and printer cartridges. These items, as well as other items not listed in the cleaning material and stationery catalogues, will be procured separately through quotations invited via the Integrated Procurement Solution (IPS).

Schools must submit requisitions (WCED 026 form) in this regard to the LTSM office by no later than the 7th of August 2015 to ensure timeous delivery.

7. Schools will be required to use their Norms and Standards funds for Local Purchases to cover all their stationery and cleaning material needs. It is therefore very important that schools plan carefully in determining how their Norms and Standards funds are managed, to ensure the availability of sufficient funds for requirements. To assist schools in this regard, confirmation of orders and the value thereof are sent to schools as orders are being processed.
8. Kindly bring the contents of this circular to the attention of all relevant officials.
