Strategic Procurement (SP)
What’s the difference between Purchasing and Strategic Procurement?
- Strategic Procurement supports and helps the end-to-end buying of goods/services across
UNSW by assessing opportunities, analysing your needs and potential suppliers, engaging
suppliers, implementing UNSW wide goods/services contracts, and the continuous
management of those suppliers. It also includes high value one-off transactions.
This makes Strategic Procurement distinctly different from Purchasing. Purchasing
encompasses the administrative activities associated with raising and goods receipting an
order which may form part of a boarder Procurement activity. Purchasing links with Accounts
Payable to ensure the payment of goods and services.
When engaging Strategic Procurement?
- As early as possible so that SP can define the most appropriate level of support

take over your relationship with the supplier
Strategic Procurement
So what they do:
 Support preparation of procurement activities / tenders such as determining
approach and preparing tender documentation (requirements, contracts,
etc.)
 Facilitate or project manage procurement/tender process
 Negotiate with suppliers on commercial, technical, and contractual aspects
and resolve disputes
 Draft purchase agreements (contracts)
 Provide ongoing post-agreement commercial and procurement support

Procurement Area and process: http://www.fin.unsw.edu.au/OurServices/Procurement.html
When involved in the project, Strategic procurement :
- can support Buyer/researcher through this process
- should be CC’ed in order to follow up the project’s progression

Asset Definitions
What is an Asset?
A physical or non-physical item that generates future benefits beyond 12 months that can be identified and
which UNSW has ownership of.
An asset can be tangible (like a building) or intangible (such as intellectual property). Types of assets
purchased at UNSW include computer, laboratory and plant equipment, etc.
Associated costs of a Fixed Asset
The cost of a fixed asset includes all amounts incurred to acquire the asset and any amounts that are
directly attributable to bringing the asset into working condition.
Asset Definitions
Directly attributable:
 Delivery, freight costs
 Costs associated with acquiring the asset such as stamp duty and import duties
 Costs of installation of the asset (installation and labour costs)
 Professional fees, such as legal fees and architects' fees (building, land)
Assets Help Sheet
Not Directly attributable:
 Training
 Maintenance services
 Warranties
Asset Definitions
Up until December 2013, only equipment equal or greater than $5,000 were listed on the UNSW Assets
Register as capitalised assets.
From January 2014 onwards, equipment equal, greater than or less than (if you wish to track) will be listed
on the UNSW Assets Register for tracking purposes, as follows:
•
•
Equipment equal or greater than $5,000 is to be listed on the Register as capitalised (depreciated)
assets.
Equipment under $5,000 is to be listed on the Register as non-capitalised (expensed) assets for
tracking purposes. This is up to the Business Unit to decide if they wish to track the equipment or not.

When you go to create a receipt and click Pending link, you will see 3
lines. All 3 are separate Assets not part of one asset. Each distribution line
Should have a separate Tag no and Serial ID.
If you use the same tag number, receipt will be saved in “Fully Received” status. However, this will create issues at the time of
physical scanning of the equipments.
If you use the same serial ID, receipt will be saved in open status which is incorrect and Asset will have problems transferring to Asset
