Purchasing Office (PURO) has encouraged the supplier to report the case to the Police, and hereby reminds all existing/ potential suppliers to stay cautious to suspicious orders and emails, for example, instructing a delivery location that is not at Clear Water Bay Campus or other HKUST premises. Also, the University has established procurement and tender procedures covering purchases of any value. It is recommended that you always stay alert and when in doubt, please call Keith NGO of PURO (Tel: 2358 7936) to double confirm the order.
