Case Study: Oxford Brookes University achieves £40k annual efficiency savings with Science Warehouse

Oxford Brookes University - Customer Case Study

Oxford Brookes University, a UK university founded in 1992, wanted to improve purchasing efficiency, tighten spend control, increase compliance with preferred supplier contracts, and improve visibility of contracts and product data across the institution. It also needed to support eProcurement adoption and drive the cultural change required for mandatory procurement controls. Science Warehouse provided the eCatalogue solution.

Science Warehouse implemented an easy-to-use eCatalogue with a friendly interface and supported rollout, covering product categories from office supplies to complex bio-science structures. The solution required minimal training and helped users order more effectively, request quotes, and make better purchasing decisions, with plans to extend into service categories. Oxford Brookes University reported directly attributable annualised efficiency improvements of around £40k, plus cashable savings from better contract terms and improved buying decisions.
