External Hire Process: What You Need to Know

While we encourage you to research and explore external hire options for your event, it’s important that you consult with us throughout the process. This is to ensure everything aligns with your event needs, remains within your budget, and follows our guidelines. We can help you make the best decisions, provide insight on options, and ensure the quality of the equipment meets your expectations. Our goal is to help you avoid any unexpected costs or last-minute hiccups that could derail your event.

As part of our commitment to maintaining a smooth process, we also work to preserve good relationships with our trusted contractors. These relationships are essential for making sure your event runs smoothly, and as a result, we ask that you follow the process by consulting with us before finalising any contracts or orders. By doing so, we can keep everything on track, from logistics to budget, and ensure your event has the best support possible.

Remember, whether you need a few extra items or a whole setup, the UMSU Events team is here to guide you through the process and help you get the most out of your external hires. If you need assistance or recommendations on external suppliers, don’t hesitate to reach out!
