Supplying Goods and Services

Preferred suppliers

Preferred suppliers are vetted and appointed through a formal and compliant tendering process undertaken by City St George’s, University of London Tooting Campus (CSGT) or by other organisations to which the university has an affiliation (for example, purchasing consortia). Appointed suppliers are required to be financially sound and have the required expertise, experience and capacity to provide the goods and/or services required by the university. CSGT s does not appoint preferred suppliers in response to direct approaches or supplier marketing activity.

Purchasing activity is devolved at CSGT therefore, for low value purchases up to certain thresholds, secondary suppliers can be selected through a quotation process. Existing secondary suppliers can be used for future quotations.
