Small Plant, Tool and Equipment Hire

About the buyer

Nottingham Trent University buys as a higher education institution under its own Procurement Policy, covering the goods and services it needs to operate, teach and conduct research. Framework agreements run through regional and national purchasing consortia such as NEUPC, APUC and ESPO. A central Procurement team runs supplier due diligence checks once a tender is won.

Contract value decides whether a supplier is asked for a quotation or invited to tender.

Over the past 5 years, most of Nottingham Trent University's contract awards have been in construction work, software and information systems and laboratory and precision equipment.
