Where a good quality basic phone is required without a camera and other functions, please supply an IR1 order form for a "free of charge" mobile, quoting the user's name.

In the case of a requirement for an item which does not fall into either of the above categories, please telephone the Comms Team on x23119 (0113 812 3119) and we will endeavour to suggest a suitable piece solution.

Mobiles do NOT have International access as standard. If this is required it must be specified on the IR1 order form and agreed by a senior budget holder.

There are many different types of software licence. The two main licences that we deal with are:

• Site licence - means we can install the piece of software on any machine on our campus.
• Single user licence - means that for each computer a licence is required for the software to be installed.

For either option we recommend that you please contact IMTS Purchasing to confirm the software list, availability and suitability of an application.

To order new equipment

• Decide which equipment you need.
• If you do not know the price of the equipment, ask for a quote by contacting IMTS Purchasing either by telephoning x23069/x25470 or emailing the IMTS-Purchasing mailbox. 
• Contact your budget holder to ask them for permission to purchase the order. They should advise you on the relevant budget code you need.
• If the item is to be recharged, Complete the left hand side of the IR1 Form and get it signed by your budget holder.  Send the form to us at IT Purchasing, 301 Woodhouse, City Campus
