Summer is one of the busiest times of the year for student accommodation providers. Between student move-outs and September arrivals, there's a limited window to complete maintenance, refurbishments, deep cleans and procurement before welcoming a new intake of residents.
With so many moving parts, it's easy for smaller but essential items to be overlooked until the last minute. Planning ahead not only helps keep projects on schedule but can also reduce costs, avoid delays and make procurement much more efficient.
To help make the process easier, we've created a Free Summer Procurement Checklist - a practical planning tool designed specifically for student accommodation providers.
Download your Checklist and use it to plan your procurement, record quantities and keep your summer turnaround on track.
Planning Ahead Matters
Every summer turnaround is different, but one thing remains the same - leaving procurement until the final few weeks can create unnecessary pressure.
Planning ahead can help you:
Reduce the risk of stock shortages
Avoid rush ordering and additional delivery costs
Consolidate purchases with fewer suppliers
Keep maintenance and facilities teams on schedule
Improve budgeting and purchasing visibility
Ensure everything is ready before students arrive
Whether you're replacing a handful of items or preparing multiple sites, a clear procurement plan makes the entire process easier to manage.
What's Included in the Procurement Checklist?
Our Summer Procurement Checklist includes space to record the quantities you require, making it a practical working document for facilities teams, accommodation managers and procurement teams.
You can use it to:
Record replacement quantities as you inspect rooms
Plan procurement across multiple sites
Share requirements with colleagues
Keep procurement organised throughout the summer
Create a tailored quotation from one completed document
Once you've completed the checklist, send it back to the TSS team and we'll prepare a quotation based on your requirements.
