Receiving a shipment or activating a subscription does not complete an education resource handover. The school needs to know that the approved materials, access and support information have reached the people who will use them. Organise handover around a traceable acceptance record that connects the purchase order to classroom readiness.

## Reconcile delivery with the approved order

Check quantities, editions and item identifiers against the final order, including any approved changes. Record partial deliveries and separate damaged items from missing ones. Do not let an acknowledged delivery note silently become confirmation that every classroom requirement has been met.

For a platform, reconcile the allocated accounts and subscription period with the agreement. Confirm the school controls its administrator access and knows how to obtain support. A successful login by the supplier is not evidence that the school's own administrator can manage the purchased configuration.

## Let users inspect a representative set

Ask an academic reviewer to inspect a sample from each material version or relevant resource group. Check that teacher and learner components match. For digital products, complete a normal workflow using the intended permissions, including the point at which a teacher assigns work and reviews the result.

Record exceptions in language the supplier can act on. Identify the affected item, expected behaviour, observed problem and evidence. A note saying unsuitable is difficult to resolve; a note explaining that the delivered teacher guide refers to a different edition gives the supplier a concrete correction task.

## Transfer operating knowledge

Store support contacts, warranty or replacement terms, licence dates and agreed instructions in a location the responsible staff can access. Identify who maintains the inventory or account register. If the supplier has performed setup, ask it to explain the configuration decisions that the school will need to maintain.

Arrange a short handover for the staff responsible for routine tasks. Cover adding a user, replacing an item or escalating a fault as appropriate. Avoid depending on one enthusiastic project participant whose absence would leave nobody able to administer the resource during the school year.

## Approve with unresolved items visible

Separate full acceptance, partial acceptance and outstanding correction work. Follow the contract and the school's finance controls when deciding which payment milestone has been met. Assign an owner and agreed follow-up date to remaining issues. A well-documented handover allows teaching to begin with known conditions and gives the school a reliable baseline for later support or renewal discussions.
