Procurement Services
Overview
Procurement Services
The central Procurement team is a dedicated centre of excellence for all procurement related matters. Our role is to enable the University to obtain value for money for the works, goods and services that the University requires and ensure compliance with the Procurement Strategy.
We promote efficient and effective procurement, working with colleagues and suppliers to ensure that responsible procurement and value for money is maximised by employing best practice, whilst reducing risk across supply chains serving the University.
Manchester Metropolitan University no longer meets the criteria of a ‘body governed by public law’ or a “public authority” and is therefore not considered a contracting authority for the purposes of either the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or the Public Procurement Act 2023. As a result, Manchester Metropolitan University will no longer be subject to the regimes contained in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Public Procurement Act 2023 with effect from 1 August 2024. However, as an institution founded for the public good, an exempt charity and an organization in receipt of public funds, the University has a duty to manage expenditure in an appropriate manner and aims to deliver value for money across its non-pay spend by adhering to good procurement practice.
