At The British University in Egypt, we’re committed to making smart and responsible decisions when it comes to purchasing the goods and services we need. That’s why we have a Procurement Policy – a set of guidelines that helps us get the best value for our money while being fair, transparent, and sustainable.

Think of it as our roadmap for buying things, from everyday supplies to important equipment. This policy ensures we:

• Get the Best Value: We aim for the right quality at the right price, considering not just the initial cost but also long-term factors.
• Are Fair and Transparent: We treat all potential sellers with respect and follow clear processes when choosing who to work with.
• Act Ethically: Everyone involved in purchasing at BUE follows high ethical standards and avoids any conflicts of interest.
• Think Sustainably: We consider the environmental and social impact of our purchases, aiming for more sustainable options whenever possible.
• Spend Wisely: We make sure we have the budget approved before making purchases.

Key Things to Know (In Simple Terms):

• We have a dedicated team: Our Supply Chain Department is responsible for managing most of our purchasing.
• Everything starts with a request: Departments within BUE need to formally request what they need to buy.
• We compare options: For most purchases, we get quotes from different sellers to make sure we’re getting a good deal.
• We have clear rules for choosing sellers: We look at things like quality, price, reliability, and even their commitment to sustainability.
• We keep good records: We document all our purchasing activities to ensure accountability.

This Procurement Policy helps the University operate efficiently and responsibly, ensuring that the resources we spend contribute to the best possible learning and working environment for our students and staff.
