Technology Procurement Request
Start here for all technology purchases, regardless of cost, funding, or purchase type--new purchases, renewals, product evaluations, etc. All requests, including P-card purchases, require KU Procurement and IT vetting.
This includes:
- Software
- Software as a service (SaaS) -- hosted, pay-as-you-go monthly or annual software subscriptions. [Please Note: Database access subscriptions, as defined, do not require a new request either. Please go here for more information: Procurement Compliance Guidance | Procurement]
(Note: Please check the KU Software Webstore and the IT Software Catalog first for free or heavily discounted software pre-approved by IT that may meet your needs. No Request needed).
- Cloud data storage
- Major IT hardware or equipment
- (Note: This excludes workplace computer hardware (i.e. laptops, monitors), which should be requested through to the Technology Support Center. Computer accessories should be purchased from Oracle FITC catalogs.)
- IT professional services (e.g. software implementation/configuration/development); and
- Software or IT hardware maintenance or support
