Procurement

The Strategic Procurement unit of the University establishes and manages Contracted Supplier agreements for the provision of goods and services to the University. These agreements deliver increased value for the University's expenditure through volume discounts with suppliers, improved levels of service, administrative efficiencies and consolidated management information. No quotes are required when purchasing from the University's Contracted Suppliers and staff are required to use these suppliers exclusively.
