Group Purchasing Organizations
As a Broader Public Sector organization, U of T sources a great deal through collaborative purchasing arrangements. When a product or service isn’t available from an existing Approved Supplier, departments look first to a GPO agreement — so it’s often the fastest route in for suppliers.
⚠ Supplier fraud alert
Be cautious of requests to deliver goods to non–University addresses, or messages from unverified emails and phone numbers. Verify any unexpected request before acting on it.
