Procurement
Purchase Orders - important message
It is important that a purchase order is raised by the University before any other commitment is made to acquire goods or services.
Staff must raise a purchase order before any delivery is made by a supplier.
Suppliers must quote a valid University purchase order number on invoices, otherwise there is a danger that payment will be delayed or the invoice will be rejected.
More information is available on the Finance website.
