We wish to remind service providers that services should only be provided to the University on receipt of a valid purchase order,

and in the case of emergencies, upon the written instruction of a delegated finance official.

The written instructions will also be followed by a Purchase order, subsequently.

The University will not pay for any services rendered in contravention of this written instruction effective immediately the 3rd of December 2025.

The issuing of purchase orders or written authorisation ensures that:

The purchase is for valid business purposes

Prevents abuse, fraud and financial loss to service providers and the University

Funds are available to pay the service providers

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
