Australasian Universities Procurement Network

Driving Transformative Procurement Initiatives


The Australasian Universities Procurement Network (AUPN) collaboratively drives transformative procurement initiatives for 42 universities across Australia and New Zealand. Our work spans comprehensive strategic sourcing, supplier relationship management, and sustainable procurement practices.

The AUPN leads in innovative market analysis, harnessing collective expertise to maximise purchasing power and ensure universities access high-quality resources in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

Our goal is to empower educational institutions to concentrate on their primary mission—delivering exceptional education. We accomplish this by promoting innovation and sustainability in procurement practices through our collaborative, knowledge-sharing community.

The AUPN Services Support team is dedicated to assisting members with regular events and forums, an interactive community portal, and a commitment to strict compliance and quality assurance.

The AUPN supports 42 member universities across Australia and New Zealand, offering them innovative procurement programs with flexible solutions tailored to each institution’s needs.
