Purchasing computers, laptops and other IT equipment
Purchasing overview
IT Services now provides IT equipment to Professional service departments via Stone for Windows based devices and Academia for Apple devices.
If you require a desktop, laptop, tablet or monitor for a Professional service, please email IT Services.
- We have a one device per person policy unless there is a business case
- We do not provide mobile telephone handsets but do manage and provide the contracts for those handsets
- We do not provide consumables such as cables, mice or keyboards by default, but it is always worth checking with us first as we may have some in stock preventing the need to buy more. If we are unable to supply these, you will need to order any consumables via the supplier XMA. Please see information further down the page
- Returning equipment - when someone leaves or a machine is returned, please contact IT Services for the device to be collected, data securely erased and returned to the pool for reuse
If you are purchasing IT equipment for a School or research group, please email it.services@lboro.ac.uk and a member of the support team will contact you to discuss your requirements.
