Purchasing Authorisation/Export Control

The new purchasing process has now been launched:

Purchasing Authorisation/Export Control Form
The new form follows a similar layout to the STAR form whereby academic purchasers will be required to provide details about their purchase, including reason for purchase, cost, charge code and export control considerations. 

A detailed flowchart will guide purchasers in making informed decisions regarding export control.

From Thursday 1 May 2025, all academic purchases must be requested using the AMBS Purchasing Authorisation/Export Control Form and once completed, will enable the purchaser to submit directly to the relevant administrative support for approval. 

The new simplified process will allow AMBS to: 

• demonstrate a conscious effort to consider export control in all activities
• reduce email traffic related to academic purchasing
• standardise the purchasing process across all divisions/departments

For further details on export control, please contact the Export Control Compliance Team. 

Lisa Crawley has provided AMBS with a comprehensive presentation and has briefed Heads of Division to assist in their decision making. 

Please contact your PS Administrator with any feedback or queries or contact Svetlana Kuimova if you have any issues with the online form.
