Welcome to SUPC
Southern Universities Purchasing Consortium (SUPC) is the largest of the six regional higher education purchasing consortia that operate throughout the UK. SUPC was formed in 1974 when a handful of universities came together for the collaborative purchase of stationery. It has now grown to a membership of over one hundred higher and further education institutions and offers its members a wide range of collaborative purchase agreements covering most commodity areas.
Our Mission
Our mission is to ensure that maximum competitive advantage is taken of the aggregated spend of our members, through the letting and management of contracts on their behalf.
