About the buyer

The Open University is a higher education provider that runs procurement under the Procurement Act 2023 through its own procurement service. Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium membership gives access to a shared framework used across UK universities. Lower-value purchases can go through a Direct Request for Quote instead of a full tender. A business team advises organisations on the most suitable procurement route before a contract begins.

Over the past 5 years, most of The Open University's contract awards have been in business services, software and information systems and education and training.
