Services Procurement can advise on which suppliers offer the best value for money on Capital, Consumables, and Services and will help in negotiating special terms where there are specific requirements. Any difficulties with supplies or suppliers should be discussed with Procurement who will ensure that the problem is fully investigated and resolved with the supplier concerned. Many catalogues are available within the department, these may be consulted and discussed with Procurement staff. A database of supplier addresses and telephone numbers is being developed for inclusion on the procurement web page, where possible this will also include the name of the principal contact. It is hoped that in the future it will be possible to include product information.
All information regarding supplier contact is available in the office.
Copies of all contracts relating to the supply of goods and services are kept in the office and are available for reference. Any service contract should be processed through Procurement and departments will be kept fully informed as to renewal dates and specification changes.
