Standard computer equipment
We provide all new starters in new posts with a laptop free of charge (a desktop option is also available on request). This can be ordered through the Computer Purchase form.
New starters in existing posts are expected to use the equipment of the previous postholder, where no equipment is available or is too old to be useful, replacement equipment will be provided but it may be with a recycled device.
Peripherals such as keyboards, screens and docks etc. can be selected if required when ordering your new computer, or you can order them separately through the Computer Peripheral Purchasing form.
Prices for all standard computers and peripherals can be found on the Price List.
If you require a higher specification laptop or desktop to use as your primary machine we will pay a contribution towards your purchase equivalent to the cost of our standard laptop.
Equipment for shared areas such as shared desks or meeting rooms, will be chargeable as per the Price List.
Purchasing additional kit
Additional standard devices can be purchased at full cost using the same Computer Purchase form. Bespoke machines are always fully chargeable and can be ordered using the Bespoke Computer Purchasing form.
Please make sure you have checked with your line manager in advance and got approval before making your request. These orders will need a cost code and approval from the cost code owner.
