Provision of laptops and laptop loans

ISD only has a limited supply of laptops available for loan. All staff need to consider whether their need to borrow a laptop is valid. Our loan laptops are exclusively for individuals who are working remotely and do not have access to any IT equipment at home.Ìý

1. Where possible, if ÂÒÂ×Ðã staff do not have a ÂÒÂ×Ðã supplied laptop they should useÌýtheir personal device if they have one available.
2. If a member of staffÌýdoes not have access to personal device or if the personal device they were using is no longer working, they should find out if theirÌýdepartment is willing to procure a ÂÒÂ×Ðã laptop for them.
3. If the department agrees to fund a ÂÒÂ×Ðã laptop, staff should follow the standard process for buying hardware.Ìý
4. In instances where the department is unable to fund a ÂÒÂ×Ðã laptop, then ISD can supply a laptop on a short-term loan.

Note:Ìý Maximum loan period is 4 weeks and the laptop can be collected from ISD. (Please note that the department will need to arrange and issue their staff with a permanent / temporary laptop thereafter).

To enable prioritisation of a limited supply of equipment please provide approval from your departmental Computer Rep, with a statement of the impact of not having a laptop available.
