¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's supply chain policy

¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s long term success and continued excellence is dependent on the quality of our suppliers and ensuring they align with ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's supply chain policy.

This section sets out the fundamental elements guiding ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº's supply chainÌýpolicyÌý(pdf). These must be complied with by all ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº staff authorised to incur expenditure, and apply to transactions with all suppliers, including grants and sponsored research, goods and services purchased by or on behalf of ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº worldwide.

Where any procurement is funded by a third party, such as a research grant, the funder may impose certain requirementsÌýthat are different toÌý¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s requirements. In this case, ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº will incorporate the more onerous requirement(s).

Contracts and financial commitments will only be made with suppliers who have been approved (commercially, contractually and ethically), represent value for money and are able to provide solutions to ¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s requirements. Every ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº supplier will be assessed according to their impact on ¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s performance.Ìý
