Sustainable procurement principles apply across all University purchasing, covering carbon reduction and ethical supply chains.

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

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