New Purchasing Procedures

As an outcome of the University's Expenditure Control Framework, all Purchase cards have been reduced to a $1 limit.

Moving forward the primary source for purchasing should be through Physics Stores and Purchasing.

Staff and students are reminded to be patient and understanding with these changes. This extra load on a confined subset of people and the questions they must now ask is understandably putting pressure on the system. 

All purchases will need to be in accordance with the Schools protocols for purchasing including number of quotes, appropriate GL descriptions etc. When placing a purchasing request please help by providing adequate justifications on criticality, need and timeliness.

Any concerns, please see James Irwin, RSPhys School Manager.
