Before the procurement process begins all procurement activities should be approved by the relevant delegate as set out in the University’s Financial Delegation Policy.

Where the value of the procurement is less than $1000:

• the price is reasonable and consistent with market prices for items of a similar nature;
• the goods or service being procured is not split into components or a succession of orders for the purpose of avoiding the need for quotations; and
• the principles of value for money, transparency and ethical dealing are adhered to.

Please contact one of the Procurement Team for further information or for guidance.
