About the buyer

Nottingham Trent University buys as a higher education institution under its own Procurement Policy, covering the goods and services it needs to operate, teach and conduct research. Contract value decides whether a supplier is asked for a quotation or invited to tender. Tenders run through Delta eSourcing, the university's dedicated eTendering portal. Framework agreements run through regional and national purchasing consortia such as NEUPC, APUC and ESPO. Higher-value opportunities are also published on Contracts Finder and the Find a Tender Service. A central Procurement team runs supplier due diligence checks once a tender is won.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of Nottingham Trent University's contract awards have been in construction work, software and information systems and laboratory and precision equipment.
