Notice Description
This notice records that Harper Adams University is tendering alongside a group of other UK universities as part of a property insurance procurement buying group.

The universities involved in the procurement are: Lincoln Bishop University (www.lincolnbishop.ac.uk) Edge Hill University (www.edgehill.ac.uk Harper Adams University (www.harper-adams.ac.uk) Liverpool Hope University (www.hope.ac.uk) Birmingham Newman University (www.newman.ac.uk) Ravensbourne University London (www.rave.ac.uk) York St John University (www.yorksj.ac.uk)
