Coverage: 66 active published awards; 44 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
Currently, 95% of the University's print needs are sourced externally, creating dependency on suppliers and limiting flexibility. By investing in additional print hardware and software, the University can move towards an in-house print model. This shift has the potential to significantly reduce costs and enhance responsiveness to urgent requests, improving services for staff and students.
