Project Request Form

This form should be used to raise non-standard requests for IT. A non-standard request is typically an activity that requires greater than ½ days effort to complete. Such requests are not covered within the contract held with MLCSU and as such may be chargeable.

On receipt of the form it will be assessed to confirm it is a 'project' request. A member of the project team will review the form and where necessary clarify any further requirements with you. To help speed up the process please complete as much detail on the form as possible. Once the initial requirements are understood, it will be discussed with your organisations appointed IT lead to agree a priority for progression.
