About the buyer

University of Leeds buys as a higher education institution, and its Purchasing team issues tenders through an online portal. Suppliers register on the Delta eTendering Portal, where contract opportunities are advertised. Framework agreements run through the North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortium, one of six regional higher education purchasing bodies in the UK. An agreement awarded by one regional consortium is often opened up for the wider network to use. Suppliers who win a University or consortium tender become approved suppliers for ongoing business in those items. Larger opportunities are also published on Find a Tender and Contracts Finder.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of University of Leeds's contract awards have been in laboratory and precision equipment and research and development.
