What is it?<\/h3>\n

A Purchase Order Requisition is a document created by an individual in a department or research unit used to notify Procurement Services of their need to procure goods or services exceeding the Procurement Policy threshold. The requisition will list the items and quantity, and the required delivery date, and serves as authorization to proceed with the purchase.<\/p>\n

Why is it important?<\/h3>\n

As a public sector body, the University must follow the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act. The BPSA sets out rules and regulations that must be followed for the procurement of goods and services. As such, any product or service that exceeds the Procurement Policy single quote threshold must be submitted to Procurement Services on a Purchase Requisition with the required number of quotes. Procurement Services will verify that BPSA requirements have been met, create the purchase order and send it to the vendor on behalf of the buying individual or department.<\/p>\n
