IT Purchases

Making IT Procurement secure

To ensure cost-effective and secure IT purchasing, the University requires all IT items to be purchased through IT Services. This helps prevent duplication, enhances cybersecurity, ensures effective data management, and leverages the benefits of our strategic supplier partnerships, such as extended warranties and better support.

Why purchase through IT Services?

• Eliminates Duplication: Centralised purchasing reduces redundant purchases and saves costs.
• Enhanced Cybersecurity: All software and hardware are vetted to meet university security standards.
• Better Value and Support: Strategic supplier agreements provide access to competitive pricing, extended warranties, and reliable support.
