The University's Purchase to Pay process, tender process, and details on supplier set up & amendments
Purchase to Pay
The Purchase to Pay process describes the steps required when ordering, receiving and paying for goods or services.
Tender process
The tender process is part of Purchase to Pay, and specifically relates to the purchase of goods and services between £25,000 and £100,000 (excl. VAT). A simplified process is available for use when tenders are sought only from preferredand contractedsuppliers.
Uncapped indemnities are a highly undesirable risk position for the University.
University policy dictates that no one can sign an agreement (under Chancellor Masters & Scholars legal entity) containing an uncapped indemnity, unless it has been approved by the Registrar.
Every effort should be made to remove or reduce risk and you should only seek approval to accept an uncapped indemnity as a last resort, where all other avenues have been exhausted.
