Durham University, in short
Who does Durham University award contracts to?
Across 18 contracts recorded since 2021, Durham University has used 19 different suppliers. The most frequent are Jim Hughes Coaches Limited (2 contracts), Stanley Travel (North East) Limited (2 contracts), NanoTemper Technologies GmbH (2 contracts).
What does Durham University buy?
Its most active procurement categories are laboratory and precision equipment, transport services, business and professional services. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Durham University contracts come up for renewal?
1 contract awarded by Durham University has an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 7 Nov 2027. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does Durham University spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £300k, across the 17 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new Durham University tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Durham University notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- No award notice in the last 12 months: No award notice published since 8 November 2025 in the notices we hold.
- Most recent award: recorded 11 Feb 2025 (1 year 9 months ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 17 of 18 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.

Relative dates (such as “in 6 days”) count from 7 November 2026, when this page was built.
