C8: Procurement
All projects must comply with the University’s Procurement Procedures.
It is important for Project Sponsors and Project Managers to discuss procurement arrangements with Procurement Services. The preferred method of initial contact is by emailing purchasing@exeter.ac.uk.
Contact with Procurement Services should be made at the earliest opportunity and certainly prior to the Project Proposal or Request for Authority being submitted for consideration by the Committees.
Procurement Services have the authority to vary the terms under which purchasing may be undertaken at the University in the interest of best value. This variance must be agreed in writing by Procurement Services, noted in the investment appraisal narrative, and be compliant with UK and EU legislation and regulations.
