Become a supplier

Registering sets you up to transact with the University and be paid. It’s an administrative step — not a shortcut to winning business.

Who should register — and when

Register once there’s a concrete reason to transact with the University — you’ve been selected through a competitive process, you hold a Vendor of Record or group-purchasing agreement the University buys from, or a department intends to purchase from you and needs you set up to be paid.

Registration is required before the University can issue a purchase order to you or process payment. If you’re only exploring opportunities, you don’t need to register yet — you can view and bid on open opportunities first.

What registration does and doesn’t mean

What it does

Sets you up in the University’s systems so a department can raise a purchase order and pay you.

What it doesn’t

Registering does not guarantee any business with the University, promise a set volume or spend, or establish preferred, approved, or exclusive supplier status.

Do I need to register to become an Approved Supplier?

No, those are two different things. Registering sets you up to transact with the University and be paid. You become an Approved Supplier by succeeding in a competitive procurement, or by holding a Vendor of Record agreement with a group-purchasing organization, at which point you’re added to the Approved Supplier Directory or set up as a vendor in our systems.
