Tips - When starting a contract in Telecom Paris

To get a computer, first ask your team members if there's one available. With the confirmation of the head of your department, you can order one from Dell or an Apple one from Econocom.

The ordering process

• The provider should be registered in our database. Ask the managing assistant of your team if the provider is registered
  • if it's not the case, you will need an IBAN / RIB and company registration document (KBis in french) in order to register the provider
  • you should also ask if the provider accepts payment via "purchase order", explained later
• Ask for a quote with all the devices you need (asking to only one provider is OK, you don't have to do a comparison between several providers, as in the institutions linked to the Ministère de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche
• On the quote, there should be : an email address to send the purchase order, the precise prices of taxes (TVA), the address of the provider, and the registration number of the company (SIRET in french)
• Send the quote to your managing assistant, who will deal with the financial team
• They'll produce a "purchase order" from your managing assistant. That's a document engaging Telecom Paris to pay for the order, after shipping. You can transfer it from your managing assistant to the provider, or your managing assistant can directly send an email to the provider. In this email, you should remind the provider how to put the invoice in the public administration website called "Chorus Pro" (see explanation below, that you can forward to your provider)
• When the company receives the "purchase order", they will prepare, pack and send your order
• When you receive your order, notify your managing assistant and send them the shipping document
• The provider gets paid withing 30 days
