How to do business with LJMU
A guide for prospective suppliers
LJMU works with suppliers to deliver high quality services and goods which meet the current and future needs of staff, students and the local community based on the principle of value for money. We encourage applications from suppliers of all types including:
- local
- national
- small medium enterprise
- limited companies
- ethnic minority owned businesses
Our policies and procedures are in place to ensure the correct process is adopted to meet the university’s needs and ethos, for example, compliance with policies around health and safety, sustainability, diversity and equality, and corporate and social responsibility, to name a few.
Liverpool John Moores University does not consider itself a "contracting authority" for the purposes of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016. Consequently, the university is not bound by the specific obligations of these regulations in relation to its procurement activities. Nevertheless, as a charity and an organisation in receipt of public funds, the university is committed to upholding principles of transparency, fairness, and value for money in its procurement processes.
Our approach reflects our mission to foster academic excellence and efficiency in resource management, ensuring that our procurement practices support our educational objectives and benefit our stakeholders.
