About the buyer

Ulster University buys as a higher and further education body, running its own Procurement Office from Coleraine. There are no approved supplier lists, only live tenders and frameworks. Above-threshold tenders run through eTendersNI under the Procurement Act 2023. Statutory notices for those tenders appear on the Find a Tender service. Below-threshold tenders run through the University's own eSourcing NI portal. Suppliers register free on each portal. Construction work also appears separately on Constructionline. Framework agreements with NWUPC and SUPC cover much of its buying. The Crown Commercial Service and Northern Ireland's Central Procurement Directive add more routes.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of Ulster University's contract awards have been in IT services, business services and repair and maintenance.
