About us
Commercial & Procurement Services works in partnership with colleagues across the University to deliver effective, responsible and commercially focused procurement.
Our Category Management approach covers the full commercial lifecycle, from understanding requirements and developing sourcing strategies, through procurement and contracting, to ongoing contract and supplier relationship management. By getting involved early, we can help colleagues make informed commercial decisions, manage risk and achieve greater value from University spend.
We are transforming the way procurement works across the University through clearer policies and processes, improved systems, stronger commercial capability and a new Supplier Relationship Management approach. Our aim is to make procurement simpler to navigate, strengthen how we work with our suppliers and deliver better outcomes for the University.
