UKUPC delivers smarter procurement for UK higher education and beyond and is a national collaboration, built for universities, the wider public sector, and not-for-profit organisations. UK Universities Procurement Consortia (UKUPC) is the strategic partnership of the UK’s eight higher education procurement consortia: APUC, HEPCW, LUPC, NEUPC, NWUPC, SUPC, TEC (energy), and TUCO (catering). Together, we harness the sector’s collective buying power, expertise and insight – creating one coordinated approach that helps our members secure better value, reduce risk, and meet their financial and strategic goals. We enable our members to buy better, faster and more efficiently through: • National and regional frameworks: ready-to-use, compliant routes to market across key categories • Collaborative procurement expertise: specialist teams working on behalf of the sector • Aggregation of demand: Leveraging collective spend to secure better value • Market insight and supplier management: strengthening competition and improving outcomes • Responsible procurement leadership: championing higher standards of sustainability, social value and ethical behaviour across our supply chains • Member support and guidance: developing procurement capability through advice, tools and training.
