STRATEGY & GOVERNANCE
NWUPC’s strategy puts our member community at the heart of all our activities. The strategy was developed in 2022 for a three year period with various groups representing our key stakeholders contributing to our priorities. This included our Board, our Strategy Group and our Staff.
The NWUPC Strategy Group is formed from representatives of the Heads of Procurement Group and reviews our strategy and our performance twice a year to ensure it stays relevant and that targets are being achieved.
The current strategy is available to download below.
Our Governance
Our Board
As a company limited by guarantee, NWUPC is led by a Board made up of senior directors from across our members institutions as well as independent directors. Board Members are democratically elected by our management council with the exception of NWUPC’s Managing Director and the position held by the Chair of our Heads of Procurement Group.
The Board is responsible for the governance and oversight of the consortium and representing the interests of our shareholders (HEI full members). It elects the Chair and Deputy Chair, appoints the Managing Director, sets the budget and KPIs, publishes its Annual Report and Accounts and executes all other duties and responsibilities commensurate with directing the company.
The Board meets 3 times annually and delegates day-to-day strategic leadership responsibility to the Managing Director.
