Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges (APUC) is the procurement centre of expertise for Scotland’s 62 universities and colleges.
APUC’s mission is to support the embedding and consistent application of good procurement practice within Scotland’s further and higher education institutions, and to increase significantly the sustainable value for money from institutions’ procurement expenditure through the provision of advanced procurement services.
The mission is underpinned by three inter-related key strategies:
- Collaborative Procurement – cost savings and improvements in quality, service and contract terms.
- Procurement Policy and Guidance – effective governance, management and operational procurement.
- eProcurement Scotl@nd – efficiencies in sourcing, processing and compliance.
These key strategies ultimately benefit institutions by embedding advanced procurement practices and increasing sustainable value for money for institutions from their non-pay spend.
