Purchasing

Our employees ensure all procurement processes are smoothly completed. This includes scientific equipment, all conventional equipment, and everything required to cover the University's IT needs.

Conventional equipment (Section I) includes but is not limited to room furnishings, office equipment, and commodities. In IT (Section IV), purchasing ranges from IT equipment to high performance computers. To support research and teaching, Section II is concerned with services and deliveries pertaining to equipment. Section V is responsible for the awarding of contracts for standard and customized software and the commissioning of web portals.

 

The Profit is in the Purchase.

Contract Awarding Procedure

Please check the “Our Team” table below for contact details if you need to get in touch with us. Allocation processes are conducted to fulfill any purchasing needs. Generally a “negotiated procedure” is used for contracts with a value of up to 25,000 euros net. We conduct a “restricted allocation” for contracts ranging from 25,000 and 100,000 euros net. Starting at 100,000 euros net up to the EU threshold (that is up to roughly 200,000 euros) we hold an “open or public call.” Contracts are awarded after a EU-wide allocation process for those beyond the EU threshold.

Furthermore, our team supervises the conclusion of framework contracts and accepts bids for open delivery contracts, the products of which RWTH members are able to access via the RWTH Kaufhaus.

RWTH staff members can view the current status of every individual order by view the purchasing status. This is only open to internal authorized individuals.

 

Contracts

Our employees are responsible for the conclusion of contracts in the areas of licensing, lending, leasing, publishing, releasing, realtors, maintenance, insurance, and contracts for work agreements, which are not finalized with natural persons – in this event Department 9.0 is responsible – and licensing agreements.

Representatives of university institutions are not authorized to close contracts in the name of RWTH Aachen.

Suppliers

The professional purchasing team in our department serves as the first contact for suppliers.

RWTH Aachen University adheres to ecological and social standards when selecting its suppliers within the framework of the implementation of the GWB, VgV, and TVgG. It values knowing how products are manufactured and delivered. Aside from profitability, sustainability plays a great role in the purchasing of deliveries and services.

In the download section below RWTH Aachen University provides information relevant for contractors and which should be read and adhered to when providing deliveries and services.

Please make note of the information for suppliers.

Sale of Dispensable Items

All measures regarding asset management, particularly the divestment of assets, are supervised by Division 7.3.

Equipment that is considered dispensable for official use is listed on the Intranet. Division 7.3 offers items for sale both internally and externally, whereby offers for service use have priority. If items are no longer useable, the department grants approval for disposal. You can find out which items at any given time are dispensable from the list of dispensable items.
