The role of ICT Procurement is to ensure that when USQ is purchasing any ICT hardware, ICT software or associated ICT service, that USQ is able to demonstrate that it has achieved "value for money"; has advanced USQ strategic and operational priorities; and that we can demonstrate probity and accountability for the outcomes achieved.
This will be achieved by maximising the benefits that USQ is able to achieve in ICT procurement by developing expertise and understanding of the products and services that we acquire; negotiating and coordinating contracts for appropriate ICT standing offer arrangements; coordinating tenders and orders for ICT desktop hardware, server hardware and network hardware, major software agreements and software licences; reviewing ICT procurement practices and recommending changes to processes, products and suppliers where savings and value can be demonstrated; provide procurement information and advice to Faculty and Departments.
ICT Procurement will process all USQ purchase orders for ICT items and will provide guidance to USQ procurement staff on the processes for procuring ICT items via other purchase arrangements. |
