Purchasing
Where possible, you should choose the recommended hardware and supplier (see the link above) to ensure you get a fully managed service.
Please contact us via the IT Support if these options don't fit your requirements - we will try and help you find an appropriate solution.
You should purchase recommended hardware via YEP. Orders must be placed by authorised departmental staff, and can take between 3 and 7 working days.
Faults
Recommended hardware (including PCs, laptops and thin clients) is fully supported if it develops a hardware fault during the normal warranty period.
If your device develops a fault, please contact the IT Support.
Your device will normally be fixed within 5 working days, but this may take longer if parts need ordering from the supplier.
Disposal
At the end of the device's life we will arrange for its collection and secure disposal, conforming with relevant regulations eg WEEE
Non-recommended hardware
If your non-recommended hardware develops a fault, we may offer advice on a best efforts basis. Contact the IT Support with the details.
