A large school textbook order for the City of Bulawayo's schools, running to 97 lines and many thousands of books. The bulk sits in the Ventures series, which covers Social Science, Science & Technology, Physical Education & Arts, Mathematics, English and isiNdebele from ECD A through Grade 7. The heaviest lines are the upper grades: 566 Science & Technology Grade 7, 545 Social Science Grade 7, 451 English Grade 7, 450 Mathematics Grade 7 and 431 Social Science Grade 6. The Plus One series appears in smaller quantities across Science & Technology, English, Social Science, Physical Education & Arts and Mathematics for grades 1 to 7, and CPS isiNdebele titles run alongside. The listing shown here is truncated — 37 further line items exist beyond those visible, so the full schedule and the total book count are only in the tender document. Named publisher series with no equivalent-accepted wording means this is a bid for a bookseller with publisher relationships rather than a general stationer. Delivery is to Khami Stores over 60 days, with 90-day bid validity. The full tender document was not available where we read this, so download it from the source — you need all 97 lines before pricing.
