Procurement and invoice updates
Wednesday, 15 April 2020
The Procurement team has compiled a new webpage on procuring goods and services in midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The webpage includes focused advice on:
- Supplier contracts - (this includes new contracts, varying or cancelling existing contracts)
- Purchasing goods (ordering to home addresses)
- Payment to small and medium enterprises
- Information for suppliers
If any of these areas apply to you, we ask you to read the guidance before placing an order with a supplier. You'll need to use your University log-in to view the page.
If you have any queries, please email procurement@reading.ac.uk
Note on invoices
Please note that all supplier invoices should be sent to Invoices@reading.ac.uk for processing.
Given our current working situation, it is not possible for the Accounts Payable Team to accept invoices by post at this time - any suppliers sending invoices by post will not be paid.
If you are aware that a supplier has sent an invoice by post, please ask them to instead send a clear electronic copy to Accounts Payable with a valid PO number.
Our Procurement and Accounts Payable colleagues are working hard to support the University during this exceptional time - if you have any questions, please email the team or contact a colleague through Microsoft Teams.
