Save Time & Money With Our Central Procurement System
 With multiple offices and numerous potential buyers of reference books & annual titles in each location, keeping control of your book spend is not easy.
Buying locally or managing multiple suppliers nationally takes up valuable resources within procurement and finance and because your spend is diluted across a number of suppliers, you can never achieve the maximum discounts available.
Professional Bookshops
streamlines the way organisations buy books
The Professional Bookshops Central Procurement system provides multi-location clients with a simple internet-based procurement system for their book needs across every department of the organisation. By empowering individual end-users to research and order their books directly from your own branded bookshop, the whole organisation saves time.
“EC Harris appointed Professional Bookshops to provide an online contracts ordering system. This proved to be successful and the service was extended to include end users ordering books. By empowering our end users to use this service we have managed to free up internal resource and benefit from cost reduction and consolidation of invoices. I would have no hesitation in recommending Professional Bookshops.”

National Discounts - Local Service
All online customers are offered a minimum 5% discount on every title but we would like to save you even more! By directing
ALL of your staff to buy through your own dedicated online bookshop rather than through multiple suppliers, we can look at your national spend and offer you the best discount rate.
 We
Guarantee To Save You Money
With many of the UK’s leading organisations already using our service, our buying power enables us to offer the lowest prices in the market - Guaranteed. Discounts are individually negotiated on a flat-rate basis across every title you buy and with no minimum order value, even the smallest orders benefit from the nationally negotiated discount rate.
You Are In
Total Control
The thought of enabling end-users to order what they want at will often worries central buyers and for this reason, our system has been designed to give
YOU full control over what titles people can see when they log-in, what they can order automatically and which ones they require prior approval for.
One Itemised Monthly Invoice - 30 days to Pay
Rather than processing multiple invoices, our Central Procurement system automatically generates one itemised invoice at the end of the month. Available in MS Excel format for quick processing, each order is linked to a purchase order number and a job reference number (optional) if you need to re-charge expenditure to clients.
 Over 500,000 Professional Books - Fast Delivery - Expert Advice
To ensure you get the most up-to-date information, our system is updated daily and, with over 500,000 titles available online today, your staff have quick and easy access to every professional title in print.
As you would expect from the UK’s favourite professional bookshop, we hold stock of the most popular titles and offer a next-day delivery service as standard. Customer service is provided by a team of experts on hand to offer helpful advice about which title to buy or to assist in sourcing obscure titles and in the unlikely event that there is a problem with an order, you are fully protected by our no-quibble returns or replacement policy.
