    • Legislative requirements
    • Compliance with the organisation’s IT acquisition policy
    • Involvement of IT legal contract expertise
    • Licensing and leasing requirements
    • Technology upgrade clauses
    • Escrow arrangements
    • Vendor software support and security arrangements
    • Ensuring involvement of the business
    • Total cost of ownership
    • Acquisition plan for major acquisitions
    • Recording of assets
  2. Define and implement standard procurement procedures that use selection approaches responsive to the risks associated with the procurement.
  3. Define and implement required approvals at key decision points during the procurement processes. Obtain approval from senior management in advance, if the existing policy will not be followed.
  4. Record receipt of all hardware and software acquisitions in an asset inventory, and assess the quality before making any payment.
