NWUPC North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium) is owned by 24 universities in the North West of England. They manage a wealth of tenders, frameworks and mini competitions for these Universities. If you are a North West based or national supplier to the education sector this is key stakeholder in the industry.
As professional bid writers, with our HQ and bid writing team, based in Bolton, we regularly produce winning tender results for our clients via NWUPC opportunities.
Client feedback
"This is a huge thank you e-mail! After waiting many months for the XXX University tender we have just received notice to say we have been awarded the contract. we simply could not have achieved this success without the great template you provided us with. Every tender we have gone for so far we have won! 3 tenders in all, across 3 Universities. We are over the moon! Thanks again for such an amazing team and the work you put into the template" - Tracy Hutchison, Director, Elite Entrance Systems
We specialise in bid writing and bid management services for SMEs and this article is to share some of the benefits of NWUPC frameworks and why it has proven so successful for our clients. To understand what a ‘framework’ is click this link to see our detailed overview.
NWUPC Framework Overview
NWUPC develops approved frameworks or an approved list of suppliers for their University members to use. Via their agreements, they want to help Universities across the North West achieve value for money for the goods and services which they procure.
In their last published financial report (2021) they had £142m spend through their frameworks and produced £10.2m cashable savings for their members.
They have 26 framework agreements split across:
- Audio Visual Frameworks
- Catering Frameworks
- Computing Frameworks
- Domestics Frameworks
- Estates Frameworks
- Furniture Frameworks
- Laboratories Frameworks
- Library Frameworks
- Office Solutions Frameworks
- Professional Services Frameworks
- Telecommunication Frameworks
- Travel Frameworks
What is good to hear, from a supplier’s perspective, is that despite having 24 Universities as members and owners of NWUPC, plus additional users, within the 2022 – 2025 strategy they are still committed to increasing spend through their frameworks.
NWUPC Frameworks – 76% of Winning Bidders are SMEs
With a focus on social value NWUPC are committed to establishing more ways to engage SMEs. However, they are already doing a great job with 76% of the supply chain currently being SMEs and 20% of these being micro businesses.
They are going to be reporting more on SME and micro organisations' involvement in their frameworks and will be providing additional guidance to suppliers, including that on Social Value TOMS requirements. View our detailed and practical guide to Social Value here.
It is important to note that 92% of suppliers are Netpositive registered – so this is an accreditation you need to be looking at in preparation for these bids.
As this is a regional framework provider, it does mean it is by design more accessible for many regional contractors, suppliers and service providers. If you can deliver some of the products and services below across the North West, NWUPC could be a great opportunity for you.

How does an NWUPC Framework work?
NWUPC uses the portal EU Supply. You can use this link to register on the portal to start bidding or to view current NWUPC tender opportunities.
For more tender opportunities take a look at our comprehensive and free tender alert software, covering UK and Europe, Tender Pipeline.
Once you have found an NWUPC framework you want to bid for and is available, you need to register on the EU Supply Portal and express an interest in the specific opportunity. At this stage, you will be able access full the tender pack for the framework, instructions on how to tender and deadlines for the bid submission. This is your chance to fully review the requirements, and assess your chances of success or whether it is something you want to bid for.
Once you have followed the instructions and submitted your bid, NWUPC will inform you via the portal whether you have been successfully shortlisted onto the framework. If you have been successful you will then have to sign contracts and there will be chances to engage with NWUPC in order to further understand how the framework will work. Most NWUPC frameworks allow for direct award and mini-competition. This means some of your public sector clients may choose to continue to work with you via this framework and via a direct award (no further competition). Or they will invite the relevant and successfully awarded bidders to submit a further tender specifically for their requirement.
