Procurement

Guidance and support

About Us

The Procurement Team at Aston University is the main point within the University for all procurement guidance and support.

The Procurement Team is also the first point of contact for information on current contracts and forthcoming tenders, and how to supply to the university.

The team is principally responsible for leading all procurement projects over £50k and is involved with purchasing exceeding £25k where appropriate.

We are a professionally qualified and experienced team that works with colleagues in Colleges and Departments across the University to ensure we consider:

Value for money
Whole life costs
Risk mitigation
Legal compliance
Sustainable procurement
