Printers

Printer purchase is covered by a mandatory suppliers' agreement. If you require a new printer, please contact IT Services.

Alternatively, the central print, copy and scan service offers a convenient, cheap and reliable service.

Departmental servers

Please contact IT Services before buying a server.

Our virtual machine hosting might be more appropriate.

If a departmental service is required, we'll check that the hardware will run a suitable Windows or Linux install, and check that it can be installed in our data centre.

PC components, upgrades and peripherals

The following is available from Converge, our mandatory supplier for the University. 

  • Individual PC components and upgrades.
  • PC peripherals, such as monitors not covered by the End-to-End service.
