Academia Awarded Rank One Supplier status on the UACG Apple Framework for UK Higher Education

29 Sep 2025
We’re delighted to share that Academia has been awarded Rank One Supplier status on the new iteration of the UACG Apple Equipment & Services Framework managed by North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium (NWUPC) – allowing qualifying institutions to place orders with Academia on a direct award basis.

For over 17 years, the UACG framework has been the channel for Apple procurement in UK HE and achieving the top position is a powerful endorsement of our dedication, expertise and commitment to universities across the country.

Luke Holdcroft-Young, Sales Director, Academia, commented “Being ranked number one is a proud moment for our teams and a testament to the trust our university partners place in us to help them achieve their strategic objectives with Apple technology. We are focused and re-energised to further support the sector and will soon be launching a new set of services designed specifically for HE – watch this space!”.

James Davies, Senior Solutions Consultant, Academia, added “This recognition is built on long-term partnerships. We’re excited for what’s next and to keep raising the bar for HE.”

With the renewed framework, institutions can continue to access Apple technology through a partner with deep sector knowledge and proven delivery—from Mac and iPad procurement to deployment, provisioning and MDM, lifecycle and recycling through to fully managed Apple services—all tailored to help create innovative, future-ready digital learning environments whilst simplifying operations and adding value to IT teams.
Big thanks to our partners and incredible team!
