Aarhus University has entered into a number of purchasing agreements with various suppliers. Please note that all purchases must be made in accordance with the university’s purchasing agreements. You can find a complete list of approved suppliers here:
If the desired product cannot be found there, it must be purchased from another provider.
You must always have the expense approved by the project manager or head of section before you make the purchase.
Before you make a purchase, you must collect the approval of your head section or project manager. Then you can make the purchase.
Please note that this information must be stated on the invoice from the supplier:
When making a purchase that is not covered by an agreement, you have to contact Procurement, if the amount exceeds 300.000 DKKR ex. VAT. If the amount is less than 300.000 DKKR, you must collect 2-3 offers and choose the one that best suits your criteria regarding quality, function and price (among other things). Retrieval of offers can be via e-mail, telephone or website search.
You must be able to document that you have searched the market, e.g. by an e-mail sent to yourself with your notes and criteria, or – even better – by journalising it.
