The University of York, one of the UK’s top universities, has awarded the contract for its spend management solution to Science Warehouse. The solution will ensure efficient and cost-effective purchasing for all staff across a diverse supplier base.
Science Warehouse is a leading provider of on-demand procurement and catalogue solutions. The University of York has over 3,000 staff and 12,000 students and is undergoing an expansion programme that will double its size. The University is ranked amongst the top 10 in the UK for the quality of its research and it leads the UK league tables for teaching.
Tim Bird, Supplies Manager for the University, said: “As a leading research university with ambitious plans for the future, we needed to choose a solution that would bring major benefits for our academic users whilst also delivering substantial cost savings. After a competitive tender, we chose Science Warehouse as the only provider that could meet our exacting needs.”
Graham Gilbert, Director of Finance at York, added: “Science Warehouse will help us to manage our spend more effectively, providing strong budgetary control and the scalability required as the University expands. Science Warehouse has already proven its capabilities in other leading research universities – we look forward to reaping similar benefits at York.”

When coupled with the complete supplier coverage that it offers, this drives fast implementation and rapid benefits. We look forward to working with the University of York as the latest member of the Science Warehouse user community.”
