Metropolia has tendered contract suppliers to be retained in all essential IT product acquisitions. IT Services is responsible for the acquisitions, installation and maintenance.
Regardless of the underwriter an acquisition request has to be made at http://hd.metropolia.fi
Independently acquiring products covered by the contract can be considered a breach of contract that, in worst case, may lead to juridicial acts. In such cases the responsibility always lies with the individual who ordered the product in question.
Alternate suppliers may be discussed with the Data Administration acquisitions team as necessary.
