Supplying the College

Find Contract Opportunities

We buy a wide range of goods, services and works. The following are some examples:

• Building Services (such as electrical, plumbing, minor construction)
• Construction Professional Services
• IT hardware, software and services
• Student Travel Management
• Print Management
• Uniforms

We often use established procurement frameworks, including Crescent Purchasing Consortia, SUPC, or Government Commercial Agency.  Where no suitable framework is available, we invite tenders or obtain quotes directly. 

We also work with local and national procurement groups and, where appropriate, use shared contracts arranged with other public sector organisations. Where we can, we will co-operate with other buying organisations to ‘pool’ our purchasing abilities.

Our Policies and Expectations

We expect suppliers to comply with our policies and procedures, particularly those relating to safeguarding, health and safety, and sustainability.

General guidance on selling to the public sector is available on GOV.UK.

For more information about how public procurement rules affect the advertising and award of some contracts, see the Government’s guidance for suppliers.
