GB-Newcastle upon Tyne: Water Isotope Analyser

About the buyer

Northumbria University Newcastle buys as a higher education institution, with a central procurement team overseeing all purchasing across the university. Northumbria is one of the 16 member institutions in that consortium. Larger purchases of goods, works and services go through a formal electronic tendering process. Procurement staff vet and approve every new supplier, and develop pre-negotiated contracts and monitor spend against them.

Over the past 5 years, most of Northumbria University Newcastle's contract awards have been in laboratory and precision equipment, business services and communications equipment.
