Ashley Shelbrooke, HEPA and Project Specialist
HEPA is pleased to invite Head’s of Procurement from universities which are not contacting authorities to join a group which will facilitate discussions focused on the benefits and challenges that are faced by those with such a status. The objective of the group is to share best practise, as well as to facilitate networking amongst members.
The first meeting of the group will take place on Tuesday 23 September 2025 from 13:30 to 15:00 via Teams. Head’s of Procurement from non contracting authorities can book their place on the HEPA website here.
Members can browse the list of potential topics for the agenda on the HEPA discussing board here. The group will prioritise topics for discussion at each meeting, considering the problem statement, potential solutions and likelihood of adoption.
