Australasian Universities Procurement Network

Driving Transformative Procurement Initiatives

The Australasian Universities Procurement Network (AUPN) is a sector-led collaboration of procurement professionals from 41 universities across Australia and New Zealand.

Supported by Higher Ed Services (HES), the AUPN facilitates strategic dialogue, capability building, and shared initiatives to improve procurement outcomes for the higher education sector.

The network provides a trusted platform for members to engage on key topics such as strategic sourcing, responsible procurement, data and analytics, category management, and supplier governance. Through collaboration and knowledge sharing, the AUPN empowers universities to drive value, mitigate risk, and deliver impact across their institutions.

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

PARTICIPATING UNIVERSITIES

As the university sector faces growing challenges, AUPN is committed to delivering collaborative, cost-effective initiatives that help universities thrive and navigate the evolving landscape.

Together, we are shaping a stronger, more sustainable future for higher education.
