Why use UPS

The University is characterised by decentralised decision making whereby each Department can choose their own suppliers, software and equipment. However, UPS has distinct advantages over other suppliers:

• Any surpluses are retained by the University
• Value-adding to the products at no extra cost to the department eg currently there is no charge for scanning, cleaning documents at the scanning stage, free advice
• Ensures compliance to University standards and legal requirements
• Reduction of costs to the University as payment is by internal journal transfer and the payment of external supplier invoices entails unnecessary administration for University departments
• Auditable retail sales mechanism to satisfy University financial reporting and other obligations (eg GST) regarding sale of University publications including student notes.
• Auditable and timely transfer of Student Notes sales revenue and reimbursements to departments
• Pick up and delivery service
• Provides security printing services in regards to payslips, examinations and group certificates.
• UPS provides a ‘one stop shop’ for all departmental printing requirements
