Purchase procedure

  1. Please use the 'Contact us' button or send the Tau Team a message Taurus@ukhsa.gov.uk to initiate a purchase.
  2. Once we have received your information, we will ask for a completed order form to be sent to us (containing the customer organisation details and professional contact details, telephone, email, etc,) which specifies the software and number of licences required.
  3. Payment is required before distribution of the licences. Invoicing is done by a commercial invoice from a customer purchase order, or order form. New customers are required to complete additional paperwork to be added to the invoicing system.
  4. Once payment has been made, the software can be downloaded from our website in the 'your account' section.
  5. The licence file(s) will be encrypted and sent via email to the contact listed in the order form.

The 'Resources' page contains useful documents such as the:

  • Taurus/IMBA software information sheets
  • Taurus/IMBA software order forms
  • Taurus/IMBA end-user licence agreements
  • Taurus/IMBA privacy policies
  • Taurus version history
  • Taurus quality validation document

New Customers

New customers will be required to supply additional information to be added to our invoicing system. This includes VAT/tax country code and registration number (if UK registered) and a copy of the company headed paper is also required. Please inform the Tau Team that you are a new customer to be invoiced when initiating a purchase.

Once The Tau team has a completed order form and purchase order (and an invoice information form for new customers), the invoice will be sent and once paid the software can be downloaded from the 'Your account' section of the website. The Tau Team will send you the licence file that will activate the software for the number of users specified in the order form.


Third-party purchase

A purchase can be made via a third-party agent on behalf of the end user. In this circumstance, a contract specification must be signed by the agent accepting the Terms and Conditions for the Supply of Goods and/or Services. The invoice will be sent to a specified address, which, if new to our invoicing system must be added via the same process as a new customer.
