Purchasing

Radboud University buys around 120 million euros worth of (construction) work, services, and products every year. The Purchasing department ensures this is done according to the applicable laws and regulations. In this way, Purchasing helps make research and education possible across the entire university and supports its operations. The department does this through the sustainable procurement policy, Purchasing with Impact, which actively contributes to the ambition of working towards a circular and climate-neutral university while keeping an eye on the environment and human well-being.
