About the buyer

Aston University is a higher education provider in Birmingham, and buys through a dedicated Procurement Team. Tender opportunities are advertised on ProContract, the university's e-tendering system, where suppliers register free to respond. Larger contracts also appear on Find a Tender Service, with Contracts Finder used for smaller notices. Low-value construction work can be sourced through Constructionline. Much of this procurement flows through frameworks including SUPC, TUCO, ESPO and the Crown Commercial Service. The Procurement Team also maintains a Contracts Register of awarded tenders and framework agreements. All procurement follows financial regulations and University policy.

Education procurement reached £47.4bn in 2024/25, the fourth-largest public sector budget.

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