About the buyer

Coventry University buys as a higher education institution, with a centralised procurement team based in its Finance Department at the Armstrong Siddeley Building. Suppliers must complete a competitive tender process before they gain approved status. Tenders run by the University are advertised on the Delta e-tendering platform. Larger contracts are also published as a contract notice on Find a Tender. Coventry University belongs to the Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium, a collaborative buying group for more than one hundred higher and further education institutions. Further competitions run on the framework agreements the consortium negotiates across most commodity areas.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of Coventry University's contract awards have been in software and information systems, business services and IT services.
