About the buyer

Bath Spa University is a higher education corporation and exempt charity regulated by the Office for Students. A small specialist procurement team, based on the Newton Park campus, runs high-value contracts, while academic departments handle lower-value purchases directly. Suppliers register interest through the University's eTendering system. Framework agreements and dynamic markets cover much of the buying, drawn from the Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium and Crown Commercial Service. Open tender opportunities above the Public Contracts Regulations thresholds appear on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. The Board of Governors oversees value for money across all spending.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of Bath Spa University's contract awards have been in software and information systems, office and computing equipment and IT services.
