Frameworks come from the NWUPC, NEUPC, SUPC, LUPC and APUC consortia, TUCO and the Government Commercial Agency. There are no approved supplier lists.

Over the past 5 years, most of Lancaster University's contract awards have been in construction work, waste, cleaning and environmental services and repair and maintenance.
