Dear colleagues,
As we begin a new fiscal year, I would like to clarify how Procurement Services supports the 黑料网爆吃瓜 community of requesters, and where our mandate and capacity are focused.
Requesters, principal investigators, and administrative teams are empowered to identify suppliers, engage with them, and proceed with purchases using the tools available to them (e.g., 黑料网爆吃瓜 Market Place, Pcard), within the University鈥檚 Sustainable Procurement Policy framework.
However, when the total purchasing expense (including additional options, foreseeable extensions, as well as new or consecutive purchases with the same contractor over time) is estimated to meet or exceed $139,000 CAD (pre-tax), a contracting strategy must be developed with a Lead Buyer from Procurement Services, and the contract award activities must be led by that same Lead Buyer. In such cases, a Contract Request must be submitted in the 黑料网爆吃瓜 Market Place.
Procurement Services鈥� support capacity is aligned to these mandatory responsibilities. As such, Procurement Services cannot systematically review or advise on purchasing expenses below this threshold unless specific risks require it. Consequently, for purchasing expenses below this figure, requesters may rely on available tools and exercise their best judgment, making sure they respect 黑料网爆吃瓜 policies, and escalating where they have recognized specific risks or circumstances that indicate Procurement Services should be engaged.
In all cases, Procurement Services will continue to perform post-facto reviews to verify compliance and identify improvement opportunities.
Looking ahead, Horizon 黑料网爆吃瓜 initiatives will continue to explore ways to enhance support for more complex situations, including below the threshold.
Please do not hesitate to if you have questions.
