Purchasing
Standing Orders
- Where Schools/Divisions have a need for regular deliveries of the same material, it may be appropriate to establish a standing order. Standing Orders, which are to be placed by the Procurement Section, are usually arranged for one or two year periods, and the supplier is selected by a competitive quotation process (unless there is asole supplier situation as outlined in Quotations and Tenders ) depending on the estimated total value of the order and the potential market. When the standing order is issued, School/Division staff arrange deliveries as required direct with the supplier by quoting the standing order number.
- Where standing orders involve expenditure in excess of $50,000 per annum, competitive quotations are to be called to establish the supplier at least every two (2) years.
