Introduction
The University spends more than £23 million
each year on the regular purchase of goods and services. Much of
this expenditure is with contracts arranged regionally and
nationally by the Higher Education sector and the wider public
sector. In addition the University manages a wide range of its
own contracts.
Our aim is for all general high value
contracts specifically for Buckinghamshire New University
to be advertised on this website. In addition all
contracts for goods and services with a value above the
thresholds set down in the European Directives are advertised in
the Official Journal of the European Union.
All contracts are arranged after competitive tendering procedures
have been followed.
How we buy
The process of placing individual orders with
suppliers is devolved to Schools, Faculties and Departments
operating within the University's Finance Regulations and
Procurement Procedures. The majority of goods and services are
ordered using the central purchasing system and a purchase order is
issued. Goods or services should not be supplied without a
University purchase order.
The Procurement Manager is responsible for
directly supporting all corporate, high value and strategic
procurements as well as ensuring that the best long term value for
money is obtained with regards to all goods and services. He also
provides guidance on and promotes best practice for all purchasing
across the University.
Public sector purchases are subject to various
legislative requirements .Purchasing consortia ensure legislative
compliance and aggregation of demand so that its contracts benefit
from economies of scale and deliver contracts with maximum value
for money. Buckinghamshire New University is a member of the
Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium (SUPC) and suppliers
can register on their website to be informed of future tenders. The
website address is www.supc.ac.uk
The other purchasing consortium used is the
Office of Government Commerce (OGC) whose contracts are used by the
whole of the public sector.
Commitment to Equal Opportunities
The University values inclusiveness and diversity and is
committed to the principals of equal opportunities in all its
activities. It endeavours to ensure that all staff, students
and visitors are treated on the basis of their merits and
abilities, and that no one suffers discrimination or
disadvantage because of their gender, race, disability,
sexual orientation, religion or belief.
The University expects and requires its suppliers to similarly
value inclusiveness.
