Education Standing Offers (ESO)

Alberta Education, in consultation with stakeholders establishes a series of Education Standing Offers (ESOs) for technology products. The ESO system enables jurisdictions to acquire selected technology products from a centralized product catalog at education pricing levels that would not be available using independent purchasing arrangements. New ESO are currently being established for the following products:

  • Electronic whiteboards
  • Laptop/desktop/mobility products
  • Projection devices
  • Educational assistive technology for reading and writing
  • Videoconferencing devices
  • As each new offer is approved, it will be made available to Alberta Kindergarten to Grade 12 schools through the Learning Resources Centre (LRC). To order from the LRC, you must have an account number, user ID and password. Your school LRC account administrator (e.g. principal, secretary, purchaser) can create an account for you. Otherwise, please email your request to lrccustserv@gov.ab.ca and indicate your name, title, school name and phone number.

    For more information, please call 780-427-2767 or dial toll-free 310-0000 and select Option 1, 1.
