Purchasing

The Business Unit (DE) Purchasing, Sales and Materials Management (EVM) is the central point of contact at KIT for the procurement of goods and services, the supervision of sales activities, the management of main and auxiliary warehouses, the dispatch of goods, advice on and the handling of customs, import and export matters.

Procurement at KIT is carried out centrally by EVM, with the exception of construction services for the university and decentralized procurement up to a total order value of EUR 5,000 (excluding construction services, among other things). Decentralized procurements can be carried out independently by the individual organizational units (e.g. institutes, business units) without the involvement of DE EVM. The use of SAP's SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) ordering system is mandatory, as is compliance with the dual control principle.

Further details can be found in the "Regulations for the Procurement of Supplies and Services of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Procurement Regulations)".

KIT employees can enter, process and track orders using the SAP SRM ordering system. Access to this system must be requested. The application for access authorization (SAP/SRM user master application) as well as training documents for procurement with SRM can be found under this link.

Further information on EVM, the address data for both the North Campus and South Campus as well as contact persons for the various areas can be found at this link.
