Computer Purchasing

The MITS Purchasing Administrator coordinates all purchases of computers for the Mona Campus. It is important that MITS is advised of all purchases from our established supplier accounts even where those purchases are a direct undertaking of the departments. The actual purchasing and tracking activities (including create the formal requisitions, dispatch purchase orders, follow up the order, answer queries, take delivery, regulate the dispatch) are all carried out by the Purchasing Administrator. This person takes responsibility for purchasing logistics for all hardware purchases for the Campus.

The Purchasing Administrator will seek out suppliers of IT-related equipment in the Campus' interest. The Bursary must approve terms. Administrators in all departments are therefore urged to use this facility to obtain quotations for all purchases of IT equipment, devices and media.

Purchasing of computer equipment (not including non-networked peripherals) for any and all University entities on the Campus must be verified for specification conformity by MITS Technology Services.
Individual purchases of computers are not managed by MITS. However, staff and students may benefit from our volume pricing. The Purchasing Administrator may be asked to obtain Price Quotations from Dell once the individual supply specifications for the computer they intend to purchase are obtained. The Purchasing Administrator will then provide an official Dell quote along with contact person and free phone number. The individual will do the actual placing of the order and will be responsible for collecting the items.
