Introducing Temporary Procurement Administration Assistance.

01 January 1970

We understand that maintaining the smooth flow of operations is essential for every department, regardless of the challenges that may arise. That's why we are excited to offer Temporary Procurement Administration Assistance during times of unexpected disruptions.

What is Temporary Procurement Administration Assistance?

Our Temporary Procurement Administration Assistance is designed to support our valued business units during staffing issues, such as employee leaves or turnovers, when additional procurement support is required. We recognise that unforeseen staffing challenges can disrupt daily operations, and our commitment is to provide assistance precisely when it's needed most.

How Does It Work?

Here's how our service works:

  • Assessment - Before submitting a request, departments are encouraged to assess their need for temporary procurement support. We encourage responsible use of this service to ensure that it genuinely meets your department's needs.
  • Request Submission - If additional procurement support is required, departments can submit a request using the request form. This form captures essential information about your department's requirements and the duration of assistance needed.
  • Review and Approval - All requests for temporary procurement administration support are reviewed and approved by our dedicated Procurement Team. We assess the nature of the request, available resources, and our capacity to provide assistance.
  • Resource Allocation - Once a request is approved, we allocate qualified procurement professionals to assist the requesting department. We strive to match the skills and expertise needed to meet specific requirements.
  • Support Period - The duration of support is determined based on the unique circumstances of each request. Please note that this service is intended for temporary assistance during staffing challenges and is not a long-term solution.

  • Raising Requisition Requests
