The Strategic Procurement and Purchasing (SPP) project – which will enable the University to better buy its goods works and services, with improved frameworks and more user-friendly systems and processes – is currently planning its implementation phase after recently securing funding from the Planning and Resources Committee (PRC).
The SPP is a major component of the Finance Transformation Programme (FTP) and this fantastic result comes after over a year of groundwork, with interactions across 25 departments and extensive consultation with Finance staff.
Head of the School of Technology, Professor John Dennis, is the Academic Sponsor for SPP and chairs the Procurement Strategy Group. John recently recorded a short presentation which briefly details this significant milestone and the plans for SPP. The presentation is only seven minutes long and can be viewed here.
A script of the presentation can also be accessed here along with the PowerPoint slides.
