UM Procurement has established a pre-qualified list of suppliers for Marketing Services. Please consult the list to select a pre-qualified Supplier when obtaining Marketing Services.
Process for selecting a Supplier:
- Each vendor has their own unique process, but you should meet to discuss your project and develop a scope of work. If the anticipated amount of the order exceeds $10,000, departments should request pricing from three (3) or more suppliers and select the supplier with the best overall value.
- Review and evaluate options. Select your vendor accordingly.
- Once a vendor is selected the department and supplier MUST develop a scope of work. The department will enter a requisition and attach the scope of work. The UM Procurement Sourcing Contact will then determine if an additional agreement template will need to be processed.
