About HES
Higher Ed Services (HES) is a not-for-profit, professional services company owned by Australia's peak higher education body, Universities Australia.
The HES Board, which has members appointed by Universities Australia, is responsible for the appointment of the CEO and the probity and governance of company activities.
The company has two Federal Government funded projects worth $8.1M under management for accelerated HR technology developments and strategic procurement benchmarking projects. This constitutes 26 national higher education projects being managed by HES in 2008. Our highly qualified business consultants manage a number of other collaborating university groups in the areas of human resources, research, students, finance and procurement. The company also provides some specialist consultancy services in research systems implementation and in the development of submissions for government funding and commodity tenders.
HES has strong credentials in effective contract negotiations and provides contract management services for an Oracle Technology Consortium of 20 organisations including CSIRO and ANSTO. HES is also an Oracle reseller and provides aggregated procurement opportunities for the entire sector.
The popular National University Finance and Procurement Conference initiated by HES, is in its eighth year in 2008. The event provided the first major networking opportunity for finance professionals in higher education in Australia to address topical issues. A number of financial institutions such as Citigroup and NAB have been major sponsors of the event in recent years. HES introduced the concept of a Senior Finance Officers' Forum in 2003, which has been subsequently taken up by university CFOs, who meet biennially.
