Tendering and the purchasing process
Procurement Services works with all groups across the University on any purchases that require a tender.
The University's Purchasing Policy applies to the acquisition of all goods and services, either purchased or leased, from external suppliers and covers all University activities including foundations, centres, associations and institutes not separately incorporated. It sets out different requirements for quotations or tenders, depending on the value of the goods and/or services you are purchasing.
For purchases of tendering value, please refer to the University's Tendering Procedures.
