Analytics

How can I access CAUDIT benchmarking data?

The CAUDIT Benchmarking System is an online system which captures both benchmarking and profile data for member universities. Further information and resources can be found on the CAUDIT Benchmarking System Resources page.

To access the system you must be registered as an Benchmarking Updater - with data access and editing rights - or a Reader - view the data only.

If you are accessing the system for the first time you will need to request access and CAUDIT will process your request. Please note that if you're not known to CAUDIT staff and we are unable to readily verify that you work in IT within a university, we will refer the request to the IT Director/CIO at your institution for authorisation.

Procurement/ Vendors

How are procurement complaints handled?

Any complaints with regards to policy, process or probity should be directed to the Chair of the Strategic Procurement Governance Committee, or in their absence the President of CAUDIT. All complaints need to be made in writing, clearly articulating the complaint, the desired outcome and the impact upon a vendor or member.
