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 exceeds $1,000 and is less than $10,000:

• Two written quotations are required;
• The principles of value for money, transparency and ethical dealing must be adhered to;
• 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
• A contract between the University and the consultant must be entered into where the procurement is for consultant services.

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