Procurement Information

UoD are currently utilising systems that include integrations with the well-established supplier, WPM, who have been embedded with the student journey for the past 9 years. It is vital to ensure consistency for income collection and integrations ensuring applicants and students are not impacted, particularly as we are reliant on cashless processes as a direct result of COVID-19.
