Branded merchandise

Mandatory Contracts take a variety of forms, including higher education framework agreements and pre-agreed contracts. They have a different purchasing route depending on the nature of the product and the University’s operations. The routes are:

• In-house: Goods/services that are provided by a LU department
• Internally co-ordinated: Goods/services provided by an external supplier but managed via a LU department
• Supplier direct: The procurer will liaise directly with the supplier
• Supplier direct (eCatalogue): The procurer will select the goods/services from our bespoke catalogue using Agresso

We currently internally co-ordinate the supply of branded merchandise ensuring brand, quality and sustainability targets are met at all times. Through bulk purchasing we acheive significant savings on the products purchased for campus.

We take full ownership on all orders and deliveries so any issues that may arise can be dealt with swiftly and effectively. All orders are delivered free of charge on campus using our delivery vehicles.

November 2025: We are in the process of tendering this service and expect the route to procurement to change as a result. More details will follow and be advertised via the University noticeboard.
