Welcome to the Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium (SUPC) We are a membership-based buying organisation for universities and further education colleges that develops and manages framework agreements. Our members have access to over 90 professionally tendered, EU compliant agreements. By using our agreements, members can purchase competitively priced goods and services across a wide range of commodity areas. These agreements can save members both time and money. As well as agreements, members have access to advice and support, expert market knowledge, free supplier credit checking services, spend analysis, special commodity-specific events and low-cost training courses. Members can also make use of SUPC’s Procurement Shared Service. This service provides expert procurement consultancy and support to the Higher and Further Education sectors. The Procurement Shared Service also manages the Procurement Maturity Assessment programme for English Higher Education Institutions.
