UKUPC Impact Statement

 
 

NWUPC are pleased to bring you the first UKUPC (UK Universities Purchasing Consortia) Impact Statement, highlighting the results of the collaborative work taking place across the sector. UKUPC is the evolved convergence of eight UK Consortia who created a formal partnership to support collaborative procurement within Higher Education. We work together to share knowledge and best practice, to support each other and our wider procurement community.

 
The Impact Statement highlights the benefits for our members of the work being undertaken by the UKUPC Board and the groups operating under this; the Joint Contracting Group (JCG), Communications Group and the Consortia Information Systems Strategy Group (CISSG). NWUPC are active across all the groups, and currently Chair the JCG and Communications groups.
 
‘I am delighted to introduce the first UKUPC (UK Universities Purchasing Consortia) Impact Statement. This document sets out the impact and value that this formal partnership between the UK purchasing consortia delivers. Clear focus and delivery of procurement based cashable/non-cashable savings is supplemented by training, events, sharing of best practice and responsible procurement. By collaborating as the UKUPC; we draw upon a wealth of expertise, knowledge and experience in each individual consortium and deliver a far greater value to you, the members.’
