Important Information
During the comment process you are connected to a database. Like internet banking, the session that connects you to the database may time-out due to inactivity. If you do not have JavaScript running you will recieve a message to advise you of the length of time before the time-out. If you have JavaScript enabled, the time-out is lengthy and should not cause difficulty, however you should note the following tips to avoid losing your comments or corrupting your entries:
-
DO NOT jump between web pages/applications while logging comments.
-
DO NOT log comments for more than one document at a time. Complete and submit all comments for one document before commenting on another.
-
DO NOT leave your submission half way through. If you need to take a break, submit your current set of comments. The system will email you a copy of your comments so you can identify where you were up to and add to them later.
-
DO NOT exit from the interface until you have completed all three stages of the submission process.
(1) This procedure sets out how to obtain quotations for expenditure by RMIT in relation to the acquisition of goods or services. (2) Authority for this document is established by the Procurement and Expenditure Policy. (3) This procedure applies to expenditure on goods or services, which is below the Strategic Sourcing threshold, as set out in the Procurement Schedule 1 – Purchasing Threshold (Australia and Vietnam). (4) Seeking quotations provides a way to engage the supply market in order to obtain a competitive price from one or more suppliers for a defined supply of goods, or scope of works or services. (5) Goods or services must be obtained from an existing RMIT supplier (including from a panel provider, or through an RMIT Catalogue) in the first instance. RMIT staff should only seek to engage a new supplier on an exceptional basis. (6) Any high-risk expenditure, and expenditure which is at or above the Strategic Sourcing Threshold, must be referred to the RMIT Procurement team. (7) For non high-risk expenditure, the Purchasing Threshold table sets out how many quotations are required to enable appropriate price competition for different amounts of expenditure. (8) A policy waiver must be completed for any expenditure that cannot be conducted in a way which is consistent with the relevant minimum requirements. (9) For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to obtain multiple quotations under the Purchasing Threshold table applies even when the proposed suppliers are all RMIT Contracted Suppliers, or from a Vendor Catalogue or a Panel. (10) It is the responsibility of the person requesting a quotation to ensure their specification of goods, or scope of works or services are clear, unambiguous and comprehensive to allow the supplier to provide an accurate quote. (11) Records of quotes received must be kept for audit purposes. (12) It is the responsibility of the person requesting the quotes to ensure that the goods or services sought comply with RMIT’s specifications and requirements and that they are fit for purpose. (13) Acceptance of a supplier’s quote or price offer must not be communicated to the supplier prior to approval by an RMIT staff member with appropriate financial delegation under the Delegations of Authority Policy. RMIT staff must not make commitments to suppliers without obtaining the required approval under the Delegations of Authority Policy.Procurement Quotation Procedure (Australia)
