About the buyer

National Oceanography Centre is one of the world's top oceanographic institutions, and a dedicated procurement team runs its purchasing. Contracts above threshold are advertised through Contracts Finder and Find a Tender. Much of its buying goes through pre-negotiated framework agreements and the Crown Commercial Service. A framework covers refit, maintenance and equipment support for research vessels including RRS Discovery and RRS James Cook. Just over 1,400 suppliers work with the centre, four in five of them based in the UK. The procurement team is currently implementing the Procurement Act 2023 across its processes.

£434bn was the total UK public sector procurement spend in FY 2025/26.

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