Following the announcement of tighter restrictions on resourcing decisions, the process by which the University will appoint external contractors, consultants, and agency staff has changed.
Any request for external resource, such as Non Payroll Agency Staff, Contractors, or Consultancy, must be approved by the new process. This approval must be included as an attachment on any Requisition raised on UBW and will be rejected if not included. There will be no exceptions to this process.
This also aligns with the “No PO, No Pay” initiative : you must have a Purchase Order before instructing any external resource. Any Purchase Order must have approval and authorisation in place and attached to the Requisition.
