Much of its purchasing also runs through Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges (APUC), the framework body for the Scottish higher education sector. Procurement decisions follow the Scottish Government's Procurement Journey guidance. A dedicated Supplier Coordinator also manages supplier registration and credit checks on the university's own Finance and Procurement system.

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