°×С½ãÂÛ̳'s supply chain policy

°×С½ãÂÛ̳’s long term success and continued excellence is dependent on the quality of our suppliers and ensuring they align with °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s supply chain policy.

This section sets out the fundamental elements guiding °×С½ãÂÛ̳'s supply chainÌýpolicyÌý(pdf). These must be complied with by all °×С½ãÂÛ̳ 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 °×С½ãÂÛ̳ worldwide.

Where any procurement is funded by a third party, such as a research grant, the funder may impose certain requirementsÌýthat are different toÌý°×С½ãÂÛ̳’s requirements. In this case, °×С½ãÂÛ̳ 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 °×С½ãÂÛ̳’s requirements. Every °×С½ãÂÛ̳ supplier will be assessed according to their impact on °×С½ãÂÛ̳’s performance.Ìý
