Further to our recent correspondence regarding updated purchasing processes, a template to be used when supplying your business justifications for proposed spend commitments of £5k and above can be found here.
When raising a Purchase Requisition or Purchase Order at or above the £5k threshold, please ensure a completed copy of this form is attached via the Document Archive (guidance on how to do so is included on the form).
Please remember that any spend should only be made if essential. We recommend that you consult with your relevant budget holder(s) in the first instance to seek clarification or confirmation on an item’s necessity.
Research project and KIE project spend falls outside of this procedure and will continue to be supported by those sections as normal.
