Misuse of the card

The Card must only be used to procure goods and services for business use on behalf of the Cardholders Business Area. Current procurement instructions must still be adhered to - see  the Procurement Manual.

The deliberate misuse of a Card will be treated as fraud in accordance with the disciplinary rules and procedures as set out in the RoS Staff Handbook.

Any attempt to circumvent proper procurement procedures in respect of higher value purchases, e.g. by splitting a purchase which is above the Cardholders transaction limit into a number of smaller purchases which are each within the Cardholders transaction limit, will be treated as misconduct, in accordance with the disciplinary rules and procedures set out in the RoS Staff Handbook.
