1. Savings and Sustainability
Non Pay Savings
We have a responsibility, both to our students and to taxpayers, to demonstrate that we are delivering value for money.  We need to be confident that we are spending money sensibly and appropriately, and in ways which enable us to continue to transform lives.

The University and the Higher Education sector in general is facing challenging financial pressures over the next few years, with tuition fees flat in cash terms, and wider pressures on UK and international recruitment.
We have a responsibility, both to our students and to taxpayers, to demonstrate that we are delivering value for money.  We need to be confident that we are spending money sensibly and appropriately, and in ways which enable us to continue to Transform Lives. 
We spend around £100 million every year on goods and services, including work to maintain our estate or provide our IT, travel and subsistence costs, printing and stationery, and much more. To support the delivery of our strategy we have agreed that we should aim to achieve a £4 million saving on these areas of spend in 2018/19, and budgets have now been set on this basis. 
If we are to succeed in this, we need to embed a change in culture around our spending habits; by scrutinising what we spend money on, and challenging ourselves on whether it's genuinely necessary.
