The Finance Policy requires that Wikimedia UK follows a set of rules when purchasing certain items.[1] The key parts of these rules are that:

  • The purchase of any equipment or service over £1,000 must show evidence of comparative quotes having been sought. When the lowest quote is not chosen reasonable arguments must be put forward for this decision.
  • All successful tenders for services over a threshold of £5,000 should have a mutually acceptable contract signed by both Wikimedia UK and the contractor


The graph below page sets out a standard process which should be followed when purchasing goods.
