The University’s Financial Regulations (Purchases section 3.1(4)) require all contracts for the purchase of goods and services to incorporate the University’s Standard Terms and Conditions of Purchase or one of the other appropriate standard sets of terms. Where this is not possible (either as a result of having to agree supplier terms or due to the University’s standard terms being amended as a result of negotiation), any high-risk terms must be referred to the University Purchasing Department to ensure appropriate advice is obtained on the implications of agreeing to the non-standard terms.
Guidance on how to select an appropriate set of standard terms is available in the side menu to the right.
In addition, any contractual agreement (under the Chancellor Masters & Scholars legal entity) that contains an uncapped indemnity can only be approved by the Registrar.
