Request IT Equipment
This page explains how staff can request IT equipment and provides links to additional information and forms.
NB: You are required to provide approval (e.g. from your Line Manager or designated departmental approver) as part of the request process. You can use the template for this if you wish. This should be attached to the form, ideally in PDF format.
Please note: Due to COVID 19 restrictions and increased demand for IT equipment for working from home, Information Services is still experiencing high demand for the provision of devices. The supply of these is still being adversely affected by COVID-19 disruption to manufacturing, transportation delays and high demand of products from all sectors. Information Services are working with our Procurement team and suppliers to secure stock of IT equipment. In the meantime, we would ask for your patience in processing your request.
