I would also like to request full details of the person(s) who conduct the IT purchasing there.
There are a variety of contracts procured via the tender process, framework agreements and
competitive quotation for smaller purchases. These can involve a number of staff at varying
levels whose role can include procurement of IT related equipment. The focus for contracts is
within our Procurement Team.
