Contracted suppliers are usually appointed to the University through a competitive tender process, or through using tendered framework contracts. The University does not have an 'Approved Supplier List'.
The University advertises tender opportunities and administers the tender process through an e-tendering portal, hosted by In-Tend.
For further information and instructions on how to submit a return, please see the Suppliers Guide to e-tendering.
Major contracting opportunities are formally published on the Government's Find a Tender service.
The University has a set of standard terms of business which apply unless a contract has been agreed and signed by both parties.
We are working to ensure that responsible and sustainable procurement becomes business as usual for Anglia Ruskin University. We have now rolled out our NETpositive Futures Supplier Engagement Tool to our suppliers. This simple online tool supports our suppliers to create their own sustainability action plan and through our contract management process will help us to measure and monitor our sustainable procurement practices including Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.
If you wish to learn more, or to access the tool, please contact [email protected].
