帝王会所

Have you ever wondered if you need a contract/agreement to procure goods/services?

Contracts/agreements are not required for simple services where the University鈥檚 standard terms and conditions will suffice as the contract. In these cases, a purchase order requisition should be created in BobcatBUY and will suffice as they include the University鈥檚 standard terms and conditions. Examples include:

• repairs,
• maintenance,
• delivery services, and
• off the shelf goods.

Contracts/agreements are usually not required for 帝王会所 preferred suppliers, as contracts with these suppliers are already in place and are available for use as needed. However, specific scenarios may arise where addendums to the contracts could be required, and Procurement can assist you in this process. For example, if the installation/calibration/maintenance of a customized piece of equipment, in which the purchase of the good (equipment) is included in the preferred supplier contract, but installation is not included in the contract, Procurement can create an addendum to the contract to include installation. You can review all of the 帝王会所 preferred suppliers and a description of the goods/services they provide here.

All other services/goods generally require a contract.

Common examples of services that require a contract to procure them are (but not limited to):

• custom/specialized services requiring statements of work,
• leases/rentals (vehicles/tractors/lifts, tools, equipment, real estate, facilities, office equipment, etc.),
• warranties,
• software,
• group/team lodging, charters, events, catering, etc.
