×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳'s supply chain policy

×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳’s long term success and continued excellence is dependent on the quality of our suppliers and ensuring they align with ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳'s supply chain policy.

This section sets out the fundamental elements guiding ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳'s supply chainÌýpolicyÌý(pdf). These must be complied with by all ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ 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 ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ worldwide.

Where any procurement is funded by a third party, such as a research grant, the funder may impose certain requirementsÌýthat are different toÌý×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳’s requirements. In this case, ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ 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 ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳’s requirements. Every ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳ supplier will be assessed according to their impact on ×î×¼µÄÁùºÏ²ÊÂÛ̳’s performance.Ìý
