The Supply Group Purchasing Office provides an information, sourcing and procurement service for all goods and services.

The Supply Manager is responsible for ensuring all University purchasing adheres to the Procurement Enabling Policy, Purchasing Policy and other relevant policies listed in those documents. The Procurement Manual) supports the policies and procedures. Credit card purchases and tendering are included in the Procurement Policy.

Goods and services required by the University will generally be purchased by raising a purchase requisition on the Deakin Financial Management System (DFMS). The Purchasing area of the Supply Group check and approve all purchase requisitions which are then automatically converted into official University purchase orders. Contact a Purchasing Officer if you need to cancel a purchase order or have any other purchase requisition/order queries.

The Purchasing area provide a procurement service for any goods and services required by the University. Contact a Purchasing Officer if you require assistance in obtaining costings, finding a suitable supplier, or need information and/or advice. If you require the Purchasing area to order goods on your behalf, a Materials Requisition Form will need to be competed. The goods will then be charged to the nominated budget centre by monthly journal. There are no charges for this service. The Materials Requisition Form can be mailed or faxed to the Supply Group. A copy of the completed form should be retained by the originator for their records.

Contracts are periodically negotiated for some goods and services. The Supply Manager may reject any requisition for similar products from another source. Some of the current contracts are Stationery, Motor Vehicles, Mobile Phones, Travel, Fuel and Insurance.
