Winning together: How cross-sector collaboration is changing university procurement

Back To News

Following their session at Procurex England, Rebecca Baxter, Managing Director at NEUPC and UKUPC Chair, and Clare Riley, Senior Commercial Manager at SUPC, were invited to continue the conversation and explore why cross-sector collaboration isn’t a structural fix, it’s a mindset shift.

Universities across the UK are facing increasing pressure from budget constraints, supply chain disruption, changing market conditions and growing demand for services. In response, procurement leaders are looking beyond individual institutions and embracing more collaborative approaches to planning, sourcing and supplier engagement.

For suppliers, this shift creates significant opportunities. Greater collaboration between universities and procurement consortia can lead to improved visibility of future demand, more coordinated procurement activity, stronger supplier relationships and access to larger, more strategic opportunities across the higher education sector.

Catch up on this UKUPC webinar, hosted by Tracker Intelligence, exploring how collaborative procurement is evolving and what it means for suppliers looking to develop and grow their presence within the university market.
