Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's supply chain policy

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê’s long term success and continued excellence is dependent on the quality of our suppliers and ensuring they align with Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's supply chain policy.

This section sets out the fundamental elements guiding Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's supply chainÌýpolicyÌý(pdf). These must be complied with by all Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê 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 Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê worldwide.

Where any procurement is funded by a third party, such as a research grant, the funder may impose certain requirementsÌýthat are different toÌýÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê’s requirements. In this case, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê 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 Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê’s requirements. Every Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê supplier will be assessed according to their impact on Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê’s performance.Ìý
